The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley Wedsday, May 21 6:30 p.m. Discussion Sociable Ciderwerks 1500 Fillmore St NE Minneapolis This event is FREE and open to the public. --- In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she’ll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time. She is tasked with working as a “bridge”: living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as “1847” or Commander Graham Gore. Forced to confront the choices that brought them together, the bridge must finally reckon with how—and whether she believes—what she does next can change the future. --- 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: Best Leftovers Ever! Director: Steve Hryniewicz (Running time 32 min.) Could you turn someone else's leftovers into something tastily different -- in 30 min.?

Then, leftover takeout into an elegant dinner. And you, dear audience, guess who win this challenge before it's all over. **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.
