In August we will show The Chorus ( Les Choristes) in French with English subtitles     Director: Christophe Barratier Thursday, August 28 Snell Auditorium 5.30 p.m. - 7.30 p.m.

 

 

 

 

Clément Mathieu (Gérard Jugnot) is the new prefect (a supervisor of sorts who ranks just below the headmaster) at a boarding school for troubled children in need of discipline. On his first day on the job, Clément realizes he faces a formidable task. The children are rowdy, disrespectful, and show no regard for education or authority. At the risk of his job, he decides there must be a better way to reach and inspire the children. He finds that inspiration in his own passion, music. The Chorus is an award-winning, Oscar-nominated (Best Original Song, Best Foreign Language Film) Miramax-distributed French film.

Artsparks at the Library, which provides arts programming for all, targetted to the community of persons with developmental disabilities, has been a great success. It's lots of fun watching the Movie Making Camp participants this summer.

Here are some of the Artsparks performing arts projects you can hear and see on the web:

• the Artsparks Audio Collection of mp3 files
• Artsparks TV (requires Quicktime Viewer)
• The Library Story (requires Quicktime Viewer)

This document, published by the Red Deer & District Community Foundation and the City of Red Deer, contains lots of useful information for Newcomers to our Community and those who work with them. It includes a good, up-to-date summary of some of the programs and services we provide for New Canadians at the Library. Thanks to Welcoming and Inclusive Communities Committee for their excellent work on this valuable resource.
