SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME
Rocky Graziano is building a career in crime, when he's finally caught and arrested. In jail, he is undisciplined, always getting into trouble. When he gets out after many years he has decided to start a new life. However, he is immediately drafted to the army. But they can't keep him and he goes AWOL. Rocky discovers boxing as a way of earning quick money, and is discovered as a new talent.
The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.

THREE CUPS OF TEA:
One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time
by
Greg Mortenson and
David Oliver Relin
Having survived a failed attempt to climb K2, Greg Mortenson turned to building schools in remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. He applied his unique background and intimate knowledge of the third-world to fight terrorism with books, not bombs, and bring education and hope to remote villages. THREE CUPS OF TEA is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the world—one school at a time.
Pick up a copy of the book.  Come join the discussion.
Everyone welcome.  Free and open to the public

WHO WE ARE
The Friends of the Dover Free Library was formed in 2006 to support the staff by assisting with ongoing tasks and programs, fundraising, and co-creating additional events that provide opportunities for lifelong learning.  The Friends of the DFL include full-time and seasonal East and West Dover residents who value the many ways in which our library enriches our community and contributes to our quality of life.  There is no cost to membership; the only requirement is a desire to support the library.  The Friends are led by four officers and three directors who are elected annually.   VIEW THE FRIENDS’ BY-LAWS (51K PDF).
