The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., offers several collaborative programs in partnership with JavaVino, 424 Main St. in Downtown Racine.
• Cultural Film Series – Join fellow film enthusiasts to preview some of the Racine Public Library's collection of intriguing cultural films as JavaVino hosts free screenings on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 5-7 p.m. JavaVino offers appetizers, wine and coffee for purchase during the film. Participants are encouraged to then visit Downtown Racine's finest restaurants for dinner.
The following films will be shown for December-February
December 13 – The Island - Russian
January 10 – The Bothersome Man - Norway
February 14 - The Grocer's Son - France
Because these films are not rated, the Racine Public Library is unable to recommend them for children under age 17.
• Teen and adult poetry enthusiasts unite monthly on the 3rd Thursday from 7-9 p.m. for Poetry Roundtable. These free events focus on contemporary American poetry, highlighting a different poet at each meeting. As a group, participants will read poetry excerpts, analyze them and discuss their significance in today's society. Individuals with varying levels of poetry experience are welcome. Visit the library's Poetry Roundtable webpage at racinelibrary.info for information about each month's selected poet, interviews, criticisms, poetry and more.
• Families of children ages 8 and younger are invited to spend select Saturday mornings from Dec-Feb with storytellers from the Racine Public Library at JavaVino. The next Saturday Stories will be held Dec. 6, Jan. 3 & 17, Feb. 7 & 21 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. and will feature storytelling with a simple craft.
