Reflecting on the Power of Story & the Conviction of Two Gifted Tellers; Noah Berlow & Szilva Vecserdy - 11am, Saturday, 25th March 2017

Singer-Songwriter & Recording Artist Szilva Vecserdy with Award-Winning Film-Maker Noah Berlow It is not every day that two acclaimed artists based in Los Angeles California fly in from overseas to speak at our library and discuss the power of story in film and music...matter of fact, this was a first for us.

  A Zoom Review:   Rock Around the Historical Block  with your Historical Tour Guide  David Dodd   REVIEW PART ONE: by Nathaniel Davies https://www.facebook.com/daviesnathanielj     The event flyer stated that David would bring to life the historical characters and landmarks that once shared the block with Mentone Public Library. It was indeed some of the most fascinating history of the Mentone area delivered in flamboyant theatrical form.     David began by drawing us in with knowledge of the local area, describing the initial plan for Mentone to be an Australian riviera township named after Menton , a French coastal area near the border of Italy.  He described the familiar romanticized European names given to streets in the area , and painted a picture of the early business area in Mentone by dropping names of yesteryear business landmarks alongside the previously unfamiliar residents who owned them at that time.  ...
