Events at the OWL

Dawn of Dynasty

Book Discussion, Reception & Signing with Frank Strauss

Thursday, September 18th, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.

With the imminent dismantling of fabled Yankee Stadium, a new book by Frank Strauss, Dawn of a Dynasty: The Incredible and Improbable Story of the 1947 New York Yankees, provides readers with a nostalgic look back at one of the most memorable seasons in the history of the legendary ballpark. Dawn of a Dynasty recalls the author’s memorable meeting with Babe Ruth and features the game-by-game exploits of the players who brought New York City its first post-war championship.

A graduate of Antioch College, Frank Strauss has spent over fifty years as a journalist and public relations director. Growing up in New York City as a rabid Yankee fan, he now divides his time between New York and Litchfield County.

A wine & cheese reception will follow the event.

Space is limited - REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

What to Watch?

Posted by oliverwolcottlibrary on February 28, 2007

Over the weekend, I had family visiting. We all wanted to watch a movie together but with our ages ranging from 9 to a 63 -it was tough coming up with a suitable viewing choice. You have to worry, is it clean? is it violent? and let us not forget the language! I went to the OWL website for movie reviews. On IMDB , we were able to get the local movie times and listings. How convenient! We were able to read reviews and parent evaluations, as well as movie ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. The OWL Database is a great resource right at your fingertips — in the comfort of your own home!! And what was even better– the OWL had High School Musical which all of the kids enjoyed– as well as myself– vintage CORNY DISNEY movie and the beauty of it all, it was FREE!
