Movie: Reinventing Power: America's Renewable Energy Boom
<p><br></p><p>Co-sponsored by the Sierra Club (Iowa City), Citizens Climate Lobby, Environmental Advocates, and 100 Grannies.</p><p>See the film “Reinventing Power: America's Renewable Energy Boom” followed by a discussion of clean energy options by local environmentalists. The film takes us across the country to hear directly from the people making our clean energy future achievable. These individuals are working to rebuild what’s broken, rethink what’s possible, and revitalize communities. These stories are proof that America does not need to choose between keeping our lights on and protecting our communities. Critically, Reinventing Power underscores the notion that we don’t have to sacrifice jobs for a clean environment. Over the film’s 50 minutes, you’ll meet people in eight states whose lives were positively changed by the renewable energy industry. </p> 2019-01-10 20:30:00 -06001/24/196:30 p.m.Iowa City Public LibraryIowa City -

Valentines Night with Lauren Anderson
<p>This soulful rocker, originally from Chicago, has had a passion for singing throughout her entire life. Growing up in a household that was rich in music, her influences were widely varied from artists such as Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt, The Pointer Sisters, Eva Cassidy, Etta James, Joss Stone, Jason Mraz, Black Eyed Peas, Christina Aguilera, and many more. </p><p>Despite these modern musical influences, Lauren was classically trained throughout most of her early life. She began classical piano lessons at the age of 8, was an active member of several choirs and began taking classical voice lessons when she began high school. She eventually took her love of singing to the Quad Cities and obtained a bachelors degree in music with an emphasis on voice at Augustana College. Initially she planned on becoming an opera singer, but quickly realized that rock and soul music were more her style.</p>2/14/198:00 p.m.The Famous MockingbirdMarion -
