September 30, 2017Reading: V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd
Everyday Heroics: What Defines A Hero?
Over the past decade, the superhero genre has basked in a surge of popularity, thanks in no small part to Marvel Studios. This leads to an interesting question: What exactly is a hero?
Do we need Gamma rays and unexplainable mutations to be heroic, or, can there be a way to be deemed heroic in everyday life? Join us at the Town of Ulster Library as we explore this question through a variety of mediums.
Welcoming all adults, from sweet sixteen to golden years.
Don't have the book? Just call the library, and reserve a copy.
“Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr Creedy. And ideas are bullet-proof!.”
We offer story times and other activities for children, teens, and adults, including a book discussion group. Check our program calendar or call the library at 845-338-7881.
