Page 52 August 2014 By Sarah Stecko The Saguaro Library in Phoenix celebrates its anniversary Saturday, Sept. 6 and it’s not just any celebration either, it’s for its milestone 50th anniversary. The planned events taking place at the library are designed to excite all ages. One of the events included, “An Imaginary Trip Through the Americas,” is a live music presentation representing the culture of Latin America. The music will be sung in four different languages led by Brazilian-born, Carmen de Novais. “This performance is much more than music because it offers an artistic atmosphere conducive to multicultural understanding, which has proven to be an effective educational experience,” said Branch Manager Theresa Shaw. After the library’s cake cutting ceremony with District 8 Councilwoman Kate Gallego, there will be a presentation commemorating another 50th anniversary: The Beatles arrival in America. Musician, Dulais Rhys, Ph.D, will run the program and the audience is encouraged to sing along. The final event is a classical story telling by Arizona Rick, “the balloon- making cowboy.” The half-century of providing library services to the community has seen many renovations. Saguaro Library has witnessed Saguaro Library celebrates the community grow and prides itself on its willingness to adapt, according to Shaw. “Gone are the heavy wooden shelving, tile floors, card catalog, magazine files and shushing librarians,” Shaw said. Now, there is a more modern look with almost 30 computers and a reactivation of activities for everyone. However, the greatest feature comes from the diversity the community brings — from adults who reminisce on spending summers at the library as children, to new customers who arrived to the country as refugees, according to Shaw. “I like that Saguaro Library is nestled on a quiet street,” Shaw said. “It retains a neighborhood feel, while providing the services of a large urban library system.” For 50 years, Saguaro Library continuously adapted to meet the needs of its community.

Page 53 August 2 0 1 4 Summer movie classics By Julie Demetros Summer will soon come to a close, time to leave the pool and go back to school. For one last goodbye to summer vacation, why not celebrate with a movie night? Check out these summer classics and end the season on a high note. The Parent Trap (1961 and 1998) The 1961 original, starring Haley Mills, will always be a classic summer movie. The story is about twins Susan and Sharon who meet for the first time at summer camp and decide to switch places to try to get their divorced parents back together. Hilarity and mishaps ensue, and the film is fun for the whole family. The more recent 1998 remake, starring Lindsay Lohan as the twin sisters, is still considered a great movie, even if it is not as good as the first. Revisit Lohan’s sweet and innocent years as the cute child star with this summer movie. Addams Family Values (1993) When a new baby, Pubert, joins the Addams family, his older siblings Wednesday and Pugsley are sent to summer camp to avoid the problems of sibling rivalry. Meanwhile, a nanny is hired to help take care of Pubert, though she ends up having her eye on Uncle Fester as well. Fearing the worst for Uncle Fester, the rest of the family tries to rescue him from the possible gold digger. The famed Addams family is portrayed by Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, Carol Kane and Jimmy Workman. This classic is for those who enjoy a little Gothic horror-movie- type flare to their summer comedies. Jaws (1975) Nothing says summer break like a gigantic great white shark terrorizing Amity. The beachgoers just came out to have a good time, but now an enormous creature is attacking them. Luckily, Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss are there to save everyone from the great white. Rear Window (1954) We all could use a little Hitchcock suspense in our lives, and this film has the added bonus of being set during a hot summer in New York. James Stewart stars as L.B. “Jeff” Jefferies, a professional photographer confined to a wheelchair for a broken leg and forced to stay in his apartment when he would rather be just about anywhere else. With nothing to do except people-watch through his window, he starts getting to know his neighbors better than he ever really wanted. When he starts suspecting one of them murdered his wife, he enlists the help of his friend, played by Grace Kelly, and his nurse, portrayed by Thelma Ritter, to help him prove it and catch the killer.
