Friday Flicks
Not sure what to do on a Friday morning? How about a movie? The Lincoln Public Library will be showing a variety of films on selected Fridays of each month at 10:00 AM. Join us on February 6 for a heartwarming story about a group of sympathetic humans who help a dolphin with a damaged tail.

Winter's surrogate mother, the very elderly dolphin Panama, has passed away, leaving Winter without the only poolmate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins' social behavior requires them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a companion for her before the team at Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium..

Book Discussion
The Lincoln Public Library hosts a book discussion group that meets on the last Thursday o feach month at 6:30 PM in the Program Room. All are welcome to attend. On January 29, we will be discussing Kindred by Octavie E. Butler.

Dana, a modern black woman, is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the stays grow longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana's life will end, long before it has a chance to begin.
