KENT, Conn.—Kent Memorial Library will hold its annual meeting Saturday, March 28, at the town hall, 41 Kent Green Blvd. The meeting begins at 1 p.m. and is followed at 1:30 p.m. by the first of the library’s programs celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States.
In “From Liberty to Legacy: Exploring American Ideals in the Musicals ‘1776’ and ‘Hamilton,’” Michael Langlois, an actor and storyteller from Oratory Arts, will explore two American musicals that tell the story of the founding of the nation.
Langlois is a performer, director, lecturer and storyteller with decades of experience on the stage. He has lectured from Connecticut to California on topics ranging from Shakespeare to using one’s passions to create exciting events.
The annual meeting is an opportunity for the Kent community to hear from the library board and director on important updates, including renewal of board member terms, financial and statistical reports, programing, and the upcoming renovation.
KML will also be complying with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), which requires K-12 schools and libraries receiving E-rate funding to use filters to block visual depictions that are obscene, child pornography or harmful to minors. Compliance mandates policy, certification and filtering on all devices, with provisions for disabling filters for adult research. Feedback about the measures will be welcome at the meeting.
Please register for this event.
