Friday Flicks
Not sure what to do on a Friday morning? How about a movie? The Lincoln Public Library will be showing a variety of films on selected Fridays of each month at 10:00 AM. On January 27th, we will be watching a film based on the bestseller, The Help.
Mississippi during the 1960s: Skeeter, a southern society girl, returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends' lives, and a small Mississippi town, upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Aibileen, Skeeter's best friend's housekeeper, is the first to open up, to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community.
Grab Bag Crafts for Kids
What you take is what you make! The Lincoln Public Library will sponsor six “Grab Bag” crafting programs in January and February for children ages 12 and younger. These programs feature easy, hands-on projects which can be assembled in 30 minutes or less. Each child will assemble a different craft which they will choose from a mystery bin. Come out from the cold and get crafty with us on Saturday, February 4th, 11:00-11:30 AM.
Tax Assistance
The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program offers free tax help to low-income ($35,000 and below) and people who cannot prepare their own tax returns. Volunteers sponsored by various organizations receive training to help prepare basic tax returns in communities across the country.

Two for 'One for the Money,' please!
Coming to theaters January 27 is the first big-screen adaptation of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, One for the Money. The movie, starring Katherine Heigl as Plum, just might be the first in a new film dynasty. Discover what the buzz is all about by reading the books that have drawn fans around the world. Long-time admirers of the queen of screwball suspense can enjoy the newest in the series, Explosive Eighteen, but newcomers will want to start at the beginning. One for the Money introduces readers to tough New Jersey bond hunter Stephanie Plum, who is on the heels of sexy bad guy Joe Morelli. The hilarious non-stop action is the real payoff for both readers and moviegoers.
Book Discussion
The Lincoln Public Library hosts a book discussion group that meets on the last Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM in the Program Room. All are welcome to attend. On January 26th, we will be discussing Little Bee by Chris Cleave. From the author of the international bestseller "Incendiary" comes a haunting novel about the tenuous friendship that blooms between two disparate strangers--one an illegal Nigerian refugee, the other a recent widow from suburban London.
