Foreign Film: 
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.

Historic Two Rivers Photos

The Lester Public Library is pleased to announce that the Wentorf Photograph Collection is now available online. Housed in a locked cabinet at the library to protect this valuable collection of photographs, some from the 1800s, anyone can now access, search or simply enjoy these wonderful photos. To access this collection use the following link:

http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/WI.TwoRiversLocHist

Mr. Wentorf was both a local photographer and a collector of historical photographs. His images focus on local landmarks, industries and institutions, and people going about daily life in Two Rivers. Many of his photographs include group shots of organizations and civic groups.
