Ciao, Professore
Tuesday, May 15 6:00 PM
Ciao, Professore is the story of an upper-class teacher from conservative Northern Italy who, due to a computer error, finds himself teaching third-grade truants at a ramshackle school in the south. Yet along the way, the earnest "professor" learns some valuable lessons when he begins to see life through the fresh, vibrant eyes of his scrappy young students. No registration required, we’ll provide the popcorn, bring your own beverage.

The Lester Public Library is pleased to announce that the Wentorf Photograph Collection is now available online.
