Front Porch: Langley library discussion
Library discussion
What would you do if one of your neighbors was killed in a hate crime? Think about it. Talk about it with your neighbors.
A screening and discussion of a new PBS documentary, "Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness," is planned for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Langley Library, 104 Second St. in Langley.
The screening is part of Sno-Isle Libraries' "Issues That Matter" series of programs to encourage community dialogue.
"Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness" tells the story of residents of a Long Island village taking action after an immigrant is killed in a hate crime attack by seven teenagers. The film offers a blueprint for people who want to do something before intolerance turns to violence.
The hour-long documentary, narrated by Alfre Woodard, will be followed by a discussion about what folks can do to stop hate in their community. Communities across the country use the film to initiate dialogue about intolerance and anti-immigrant violence.
Garbage pick up: All Rubatino trucks will be on schedule Monday and on Jan. 2, the days after Christmas and New Year's.
YMCA needs money: YMCA of Snohomish County, 2720 Rockefeller Ave., Everett, WA 98201, is in need of monetary donations.
Five facility branches -- Everett, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe, Mukilteo -- and the Big Brothers Big Sisters affiliate are supported by YMCA of Snohomish County.
As a nonprofit organization, the YMCA doesn't turn away people who need help. Financial support helps the Y keep that promise.
For more information, call 425-374-5769.
