Dennis Lehane Visits Chelmsford

Dennis Lehane, author of the 2010 One Book Chelmsford Shutter Island, will be speaking in Chelmsford on Sunday, June 13th!

This event will take place at 1:00 PM at the Chelmsford High School Performing Arts Center (directions and map). There is no admission fee, but we are asking people to register on our website so we know what size crowd to expect. Shutter Island will be discussed, but attendees are also encouraged to ask questions about any of Dennis Lehane's books - including the upcoming Moonlight Mile.

For more details, visit the One Book Chelmsford webpage or our calendar's Event Information page.

Shutter Island, the Movie

As you may have heard, Chelmsford's 2010 One Book selection, Shutter Island is being released as a movie this month. We're hoping that many people will see it, in addition to reading the book.

The movie opened Friday, Feb 19th, and has been getting good reviews. If you haven't seen it yet, how about seeing it with the Library? Details are still being worked out, but we're hoping to have a "Chelmsford night" at a local cinema, so many of us who read the book can all watch the movie together.

More information about the movie:

• Official Movie Website
• Reviews from newspapers and websites
• Review by WBUR's Ed Siegal or listen to his review
• Details at the Internet Movie Database
• Details at Rotten Tomatoes

In other movie news, the February and March Library Cinema Nights will be showing Dennis Lehane movies. February's showing was Mystic River, and the March 18th Cinema Night will be another of his books. Check the Cinema Night webpage or the Library's Calendar for more details.
