The New Political You The Elbow Lake Public Library is truly excited to announce its next adult education reading and film series. With an election year upon us, we decided to ride the wave of the highest interest in politics in many years by combining biographies, textbooks and political fiction and nonfiction with feature films and documentaries to get the entire area digging deeper than a sound bite into the issues and candidates of the season. Film has been called “the new literature of the 20th century” and we’ve got some that will make you cheer, depress you horribly, and maybe even get your goat!So, join us for any or all of the dates below to wrangle with your head, heart, and, even, your healthcare. You can go to our on-line catalog to reserve copies of the books, or stop in or call the library and we can request copies for you. It is best to request the book approximately six weeks before the date of the discussion. The New Political You
