New Museum Pass:
The library has purchased a pass for the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Long
Island, located in Glen Cove. The museum is the largest and most eminent Holocaust resource
on Long Island, and its library has a vast resource of Holocaust materials. The museum also
offers lectures, films and author events. The pass will admit up to 4 adults, and anyone under
the age of 18. For further information or to reserve this pass, contact the Reference Desk.
Please note that in order to take advantage of our museum passes, you must be a Bethpage
card holder (courtesy cards are not valid).
The library is committed to providing a variety of passes to suit the many interests of our
patrons. We welcome suggestions and will look into any that are made. However, some of the
museums do not partner with libraries to provide passes. In other instances, some museum
subscription prices are high, and for that reason, we may purchase only one pass. On a positive
note, most passes always include more than one adult admission, and usually admission for
some children, helping to defray the user’s cost should they have a large group. We hope this
addresses some of your questions and concerns, but please call the Reference Desk if you
have any others. You can find a complete list of museum passes and reserve a pass online
by going to www.bethpagelibrary.info/museums. You may also pick up a list of passes and
reserve a pass at the Reference Desk.

Portraits Series
Colorfully illustrated talks—by lecturers and authorities

Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis
with Marilyn Carmino, Freelance Lecturer
Date:Thursday, September 29
Time:2:00 P.M.
Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis’ public persona as legendary
First Lady is immediately recognizable. We remember her
as an elegant, cool woman, who bravely stood and watched
the oath of office administered to Lyndon Johnson after her
husband’s assassination. However, the private life of Mrs.
Kennedy-Onassis was said to be quite different than the
public perception.
This presentation takes us beyond the familiar narrative of
Jackie’s life, as told through over 100 photographs, many
rarely seen. Jackie Kennedy was a bibliophile, equestrian,
preservationist, mother, step-mother and family matriarch.
You will come to know the private side of this intelligent and
inspiring woman.
Running On Fumes?
How To Fill Your Own Tank
Presented by Dr. Duffy Spencer,
Social Psychologist, Relationship Expert
Date:Thursday, October 6

We live in a cantankerous world, high on stress and
competiveness, low on touch and community. It is not easy,
and it’s a tall order to deal with daily. It is possible though, to
handle these bumps smoothly by recognizing the challenges
and utilizing the right tools.
Come to this special lecture designed and delivered by Dr. Duffy Spencer and learn how to
start living an easier, less stressful life. Dr. Spencer lectures at the library and widely on a steady
basis, presenting her significant and helpful programs to many audiences to much acclaim.
Italian Cuisine:
Beyond Spaghetti and Meatballs
Presented by Elena Florenzano,
Certified Teacher of Italian Language and Culture
Time:2:00 P.M.
Cost:$5 non-refundable fee per person
Italy is comprised of 20 regions, each distinct in their own dialects,
ancient traditional costumes and culinary styles. Americans may
think of Italian food as spaghetti and meatballs, or anything “a la parmesan”. Elena Florenzano
will be at the library to dispel these notions, as she presents and shares the culinary treasures
of various Italian regions, complete with recipes and tasting.
This cooking demonstration and lecture will teach the Italian cooking vocabulary, as well as the
diversity of Italian Cuisine. It will be an appetizing, informative afternoon to be had by all!
Limited registration, don’t delay. Sign up begins Thursday September 1, 2016 for Bethpage

2016 Presidential Election
Presented by Howard Shurdut, Current Affairs Lecturer
Date:Tuesday, October 18
Time:2:00 P.M.
The 2016 Presidential Election candidates have been
chosen. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will battle for
the hearts and minds of the American voters. Both have
high negative numbers which indicates that each will try to
increase their opponent’s “dislike” image with much vigor.
Domestic matters of race relations, income disparity,
immigration policy, gun control, climate change legislation
and the Supreme Court balance have strong advocates which
will result in heated debates by politicians, media, and the public.
Howard Shurdut will lead a discussion to voice the audience’s views of the candidates and
examine the possible direction that the country may be heading. A dynamic political conversation
not to be missed!

Georgia O’Keeffe:
Flower Power
with Louise Cella Caruso, Lecturer, Independent Scholar
Time:2:00 P.M.
The New York Times described Georgia O’Keeffe as “the
undisputed doyenne of American painting” in 1986 when she died
at the age of 98. Even at an early age, she had a sense of color
and shape.
Georgia O’Keeffe’s first memories were of light sitting on a
patchwork quilt and the feeling of warm, soft ridges of earth made
by the wheels of buggies. Generations have been stunned, awed,
and confused by her work, asking the same questions and coming
to the same incorrect conclusions.
This lecture/slideshow will focus on the fearless, modest woman
and her own highly refined, interpretive art.

John le Carré Movie Matinees

in the Library Auditorium
David John Moore Cornwell best known for his pen name, John le Carré, is a well-known British
author of espionage novels. His third novel The Spy Who Came in from the Cold became an
international best-seller, and remains one of his best-known works. The New York Times ranked le
Carré 22nd on its list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.
The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (1965) – September 7
Starring:Richard Burton, Claire Bloom
Rated:Not Rated; 112 minutes
Based on the notable le Carré’s best-selling novel about a cold war spy on
one last risky assignment in East Germany. Richard Burton is splendid as Alec
Leamas, whose relationship with a lovely librarian, played by Claire Bloom,
puts his mission in jeopardy. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a hardnosed and tragic thriller.
Constant Gardener (2005) – September 14
Starring:Ralph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz
Rated:R (language, some violence, sexuality); 129 minutes
In this riveting suspense thriller starring Ralph Fiennes and Best Supporting
Actress Rachel Weisz, a diplomat in pursuit of his wife’s killer, discovers a
dangerous conspiracy that will destroy millions of innocent people. From

nominated for four Academy Awards, and is an edge of your seat story of

an unforgettable finale.”

Medicare Update
The A,B,C, and D’s
Presented by Steven I. Semryck, Financial Advisor
Date:Tuesday, November 1
Time:2:00 P.M.
Steve Semryck is back to fill you in on all your options before
the October 15–December 7 open enrollment period.
Navigating through the Medicare maze can be
overwhelming, frustrating, and confusing. Choosing the
wrong plan could be costly. It is always wise to prepare,
compare, and then decide.
This lecture will explore the options available, so that you
may choose the right plan with the most suitable coverage
for your particular needs. You will also leave with a better
understanding of the Medicare process. If you have
questions or are confused about Medicare, mark your
calendar and attend this important and valuable program!
Gary Oldman leads a spectacular all-star cast in this first-rate adaptation of
John le Carré’s best-selling novel that redefined the spy thriller. At the pinnacle
of the Cold War, a risky mission goes mortally wrong, and the head of British
Intelligence speculates if a double agent is betraying vital secrets. Brought
out of retirement to uncover the potential mole, master spy George Smiley
(Oldman) is the only one who can be trusted to expose one of their own. Or
can he? A powerful and deeply resonant spy tale.
A Most Wanted Man (2014) – September 28
Starring:Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams
Rated:R (language); 121 minutes
A mysterious man on the run arrives in Hamburg Germany in the city’s Islamic
community, desperate for help to recover his deceased father’s fraudulent fortune.
Nothing about this man seems to make sense; is he a victim or a thief, or worse
still, an extremist intent on destruction? A banker and a young female attorney
are drawn into this web of intrigue, all the while being watched by the talented,
unscrupulous chief of a covert German spy unit. In an adrenaline-laced and
heart-rending escalation of tension and collision, it’s not long before he becomes
everyone’s most wanted man. A Most Wanted Man, a clever tale of conspiracy in the vein of Tinker
Taylor Soldier Spy, is also contemporary and deeply human, touching themes of love and rivalry.

tend to stay far away from their parents. However after their parents disappear

the older Fangs or is their disappearance merely part of yet another crazy and
elaborate performance?

his meteoric rise to stardom, he sets himself on a self-destructive path in both his

his life while the contributions he was making to Country-Western music made
him a legend in the making.
ELVIS AND NIXON – OCTOBER 14

This film is about a very high profile meeting that actually took place between
Elvis Presley, the King (Shannon) and President Richard Nixon (Spacey) in
