Come enjoy,” said Jon Thompson, owner of Coast Radio. “Last year’s inaugural FlorenceFest was a great success. We hosted several hundred wine, art and jazz aficionados from throughout Oregon and the West Coast. The quality of the wine, art, food and music was critical to last year’s big success, and this year’s event is shaping up to be even better.” The juried art show and sale will be conduct- ed by Margaret Prentice, who has curated numerous exhibitions throughout the Northwest. She is currently a Professor Emeritus in the University of Oregon’s Art Department. Her work is featured in more than 55 public collec- tions, the Getty Museum and leading university galleries.

We want to fill the town with people who are into fine art, fine wine and international caliber jazz,” he added. Pre-event tickets are $20 for Friday, $25 for Saturday, and a two-day pass is $40.

CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT CLASS B OOK R EVIEW “As Bright As Heaven” By Susan Meissner In 1918, Philadelphia is a city teeming with promise. Even as its young men go off to fight in the Great War, there are opportunities for a fresh start on its cobblestone streets. Into this bustling town come Pauline Bright and her husband, filled with the hope that they could now give their three daugh- ters — Evelyn, Maggie and Willa — a chance at a better life. Their dreams are short-lived. Just months after they arrive, the Spanish flu reaches the shores of North America. As the pan- demic claims more than 12,000 victims in their adopted city, Pauline and her family find them- selves in a world that looks noth- ing like the one they knew. But even as they lose loved ones, they take in a baby, orphaned by the disease, who becomes their single source of hope. Amidst the tragedy and challenges that surround them they learn what they cannot live without — and what they are willing to do about it. “As Bright as Heaven,” by Susan Meissner, is the com- pelling story of a mother and her daughters who find themselves in a harsh world not of their making that will either crush their resolve to survive or purify it. Meissner is the award-winning author of “A Bridge Across the Ocean,” “Secrets of a Charmed Life,” “A Fall of Marigolds” and “Stars Over Sunset Boulevard,” among other novels.

Admission for the film will be free with a donation of a canned or dry food item for Florence Food Share, whose mission is to alleviate hunger in Western Lane County. Admission tickets are required, limit two per per- son, and available starting March 26 at Siuslaw News, 148 Maple St., and City Lights Cinemas, 1920 Highway 101. “WASTED!” is shown as part of Siuslaw News and Coast Radio’s Green Film series, targeting important top- ics through innovative films and community discussion. January’s showing of “A Plastic Ocean” was a sold-out event and allowed people to engage with the global issue of plastic pollution locally.

You can always ask if we can order it on “interlibrary loan.” Interlibrary loan is a system where we search for the material at other libraries and request to borrow it for you. Books are usu- ally the easiest to borrow. Many libraries have restric- tions on lending audiovisual materials such as DVDs, videos and recorded books, as well as special collections such as genealogy or local history, but it’s always worth a try to see if we can borrow it. The next time you need some- thing just stop by the reference desk and we will see if we can help you out. 541- 997-5049 • 4515 Hwy. 101 N., Florence 180 MIN – “Lush and uplifting. 4/5 Stars” Stage CONCERT FOR GEORGE PoetryMusic The library is pleased to pres- ent musical duo Chris Lee and Colleen O’Brien on Wednesday, April 4, at 1 p.m., in a free con- cert entitled “PoetryMusic.” The world class chamber jazz duo is dedicated to performing poetry that has been set to music and the poetry is sung.
