*Scrabble: Tuesdays @ 6:30 pm*
*Meet with a Trial Court judge - Thursday, March 12th @ 7pm*: March is
National Judicial Outreach Month, and Warwick Library is pleased to host
Associate Justice Claudine T. Wyner of the Hampden Probate and Family
Court, Springfield. Learn about the work of the third branch of government
directly from a judge who addresses a variety of challenging matters
presented to the courts on a daily basis. Topics may include immigration,
opioid abuse, elder law and more.
*Things You Learn When You Write The Dictionary - Thursday, March 19th @ 7
pm*:
While The Dictionary is frequently called upon to justify positions and
settle debates, most people know relatively little about how dictionaries
are made and what their aims are. Join Merriam-Webster Senior Editor Emily
Brewster for a peek into a lexicographer's view of The Dictionary. We'll
discuss language change, annoying words, and just how it is that a term
like "chillax" comes to qualify for dictionary entry.
*Bend it Like Beckham - film screening Friday, March 20th @ 7pm*: In this
2002 British family romantic comedy sports film, Jess Bhamra (Parminder
Nagra), the daughter of a strict Indian couple in London, is not permitted
to play organized soccer, even though she is 18. When Jess is playing for
fun one day, her impressive skills are seen by Jules Paxton (Keira
Knightley), who then convinces Jess to play for her semi-pro team. Jess
uses elaborate excuses to hide her matches from her family while also
dealing with her romantic feelings for her coach, Joe. The Rotten Tomatoes
consensus states, "Inspiring, compassionate, and with a sly undercurrent of
social commentary, *Bend It Like Beckham* is a lively feel-good movie that
genuinely charms." Rated PG-13, "no frightening or intense scenes" (
kids-in-mind.com).
