The Tender Bar is the story of a young man who grows up in a riotously dysfunctional family from Long Island. The book pays homage to the culture of the local pub. That's where young J.R. seeks out the companionship of male role models in place of his absent father, where he receives an education that has served him well in his career and where, inevitably, he looks for love, bemoans its absence and mourns its loss.
Copies availble at the library.
Come join the discussion!  Free and open to the public

American Madness  1932, directed by Frank Capra
starring Walter Huston and Pat O’Brien
Bank President, Tom Dickson, has had the bank, its employees and its clients in his best interest. They, in turn, are fiercely loyal to Tom and the bank. But Tom is accused of being reckless and overly liberal in approving loans. Tom believes he is doing what is needed to get out of the depression. A bank employee, Matt, is implicated in a robbery at the bank. Although Matt does not know who committed the robbery, he is reluctant to defend himself if only to protect Tom and others.

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).
