Jake Vig (Edward Burns) gets two choices: pull off a near impossible heist or lose his life.  Needing all the help he can get, Jake brings in beautiful con-artist Lily (Rachel Weisz) and a mixed group of "professionals."  With The King (Dustin Hoffman) riding him and a pesky Special Agent (Andy Garcia) on his tail, Jake and his team look to have the odds stacked against them.

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).
