Book and a Movie/“Beautiful Boy”2019-10-21T19:00:00Addiction. A single word that instantaneously causes so many emotions and concerns to instantaneously bubble to the surface. The film, starring Steve Carrell, Timothee Chalamet, Maura Tierney, and Amy Ryan—which focuses on the increasingly-strained relationship between a father & son due to the son’s methamphetamine addiction—is actually based on a pair of memoirs: “Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction,” by David Sheff, and “Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines,” by Nic Sheff. One huge question remains—which version does a better job of putting this tale before the public: the books or the movie? You’ll have the opportunity to discuss this oft-debated point if you attend Manitowoc Public Library’s “Book and a Movie” at Lakeshore Cinema—1118 Washington Street—on Monday, October 21 at 7 PM. Watch the movie & then participate in the discussion of the book versus the movie that follows. Books can be checked out prior to the screening at Manitowoc Public Library.

Close to Home: Understanding Organ Donation with Susan Angel Miller2019-10-24T18:00:00Close to Home”—a companion series to the popular “Great Decisions” foreign policy presentations—is a domestic issues series that explores a range of topics that have the potential to impact the daily lives of people within our community. One such matter is organ donation. However, while uncomfortable at first, it’s important to remember that organ donation literally provides the gift of life. Susan Angel Miller—a Milwaukee-based career volunteer whose life changed as a result of a traumatic event in her family—brings the panel discussion “Understanding Organ Donation” to Manitowoc Public Library. Panel members will include a transplant nurse, and organ procurement coordinator, Susan herself, and, hopefully, a donor recipient. Not an easy discussion to start, but most definitely a necessary one. Another Must-See program at MPL!

Close to Home: It’s OK to Not Be OK, with Jeff Ditzenberger2019-10-28T18:00:00Close to Home” is a domestic issues series that explores a range of topics that have the potential to impact the daily lives of people within our community. “It’s OK To Not Be OK,” being presented on Monday, October 28 at 69 PM in MPL’s Balkansky Community Room, is the culmination of one person’s story of a battle with mental health challenges. Jeff—who long ago set fire to an abandoned structure with the intention of never leaving–now speaks to groups about the importance of destigmatizing mental health issues and talking about suicide, most especially in our rural communities, where stress and anxiety are at all-time highs in the farming industry. “It’s OK” addresses how a bad day doesn’t make a bad life. Jeff also discusses how to recognize signs of depression in others and how to find and use coping methods. Jeff has been seen on local news programs southern Wisconsin, as well as on HBOs “Vice News.” You won't want to miss this incredible program.
