Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt Tuesday, June 24 6:30 p.m. Discussion Urban Growler 2325 Endicott St St. Paul This event is FREE and open to the public. --- After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. --- With The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, moderator Jeff Kamin brings his unique take on a public book club show to Saint Paul. Even if you don’t like the featured book, he “guarantees a good time at our entertaining discussions.” All are welcome to try this moderated reinvention of the book club.

Jody's Film Series Presents: We are the Champions Director: Nick Frew (Running time 28 min.) When was the last time you had the urge to chase a wheel of cheese down a steep hill? Well, it's a centuries-old tradition in Brockworth, England. Dubbed the most dangerous foot race ever. The cheese is going 80 mph. The runners are right behind it, leaping, rolling, sliding, bouncing, somersaulting, toward the waiting ambulances at the bottom. Winner gets the coveted title, the wheel of cheese and probably a broken leg. **Please note that the location for this film has temporarily changed to Hamline United Methodist Church as Merriam Park meeting rooms undergo renovation.  1514 Englewood Ave, St Paul, MN 55104 Enjoy the free film, snacks and post-film discussion facilitated by Jody.

Jody's Film Series Presents: MerPeople Director: Cynthia Wade (Running time 46 min.) Grab a front row seat to see which mermaid and merman (yes. that's what I said) will be crowned King and Queen of the Seas. Meet the Finperial Council who judge on costume, character and charisma. And of course, cheer on your favorite fin-alist. Then attend the 75th reunion of Weeki Wachee RETIRED mermaids. But if you're thinking of becoming one, there's a bit of an obstacle: As one mermaid ruefully notes, "Most pools do not allow mermaid tails." **Please note that the location for this film has temporarily changed to Hamline United Methodist Church as Merriam Park meeting rooms undergo renovation.  1514 Englewood Ave, St Paul, MN 55104 Enjoy the free film, snacks and post-film discussion facilitated by Jody.
