A rockband, several published authors, a series of free movies and, of course, books, will highlight the Moore Public Library’s schedule for July, library officials announced recently.
Beginning July 25 the library will offer Movie Morphing Madness for its teenage customers.
“The movies that will be shown all echo the theme, Metamorphosis at your library,” said Teen Librarian, Cathy Adams, “They will have some aspect of change, alteration, or transformation.”
The movies, all matinees, will show at the library during June and July with the films set to show on:
• 2 p.m., June 25
• 2 p.m., July 9
• 2 p.m., July 23
Adams said the library will have free popcorn and admission; no registration required.
Also set for Wednesday, Moore author Clyde Shroyer will be sharing his life experiences as a long-time resident in a visit with the author set for 7 p.m.
Shroyer, author of “A Passing of Time-at Moore, Oklahoma,” was born 1923 and writes about his childhood memories and details about growing up in the area.
Shroyer’s famous quote about the City of Moore is printed on the cover of his book: “If there had been any less, there wouldn’t have been any Moore.” This example of his tongue-in-cheek humor marks Shroyer’s style and approach to life, as well as defines his colorful, descriptive language and writing style.
Shroyer will talk about writing his family’s life-story in Moore, personal observations and anecdotes, and early details about life in Moore. He also served for several years as a member of the Moore Board of Trustees and as a Moore City Councilman.
Working in conjunction with the City of Moore, the library also will sponsor the Oklahoma rock band, The Gunship, for a performance in the city’s Music in the Park series.
The Gunship will perform at Buck Thomas Park, 1901 NE 12th St., 7 p.m. Friday.
The Gunship has toured the country for more than two years and has played to crowds in Chicago, Phoenix, St. Louis, San Antonio, Georgia, L.A., and New York City.
