Author E.C. Hanson Talk | Woodbury Public Library | Saturday, January 4th 12PM

On Saturday, January 4 at 12:00 PM, local author E.C. Hanson along with researcher Rick Canfield, invite Connecticut community members to discuss the unsolved murder of 8-year old Renee Freer at the Woodbury Public Library. After a brief introduction, Hanson will read excerpts from his recently published book, DEAD END ROAD, and then take questions from the audience.

In June, 1977, a young girl named Renee Freer, nicknamed Giggles, went outside to play with her friends in Monroe, CT.  A few hours later, she was found dead.  In a true crime book unlike most, E.C. Hanson stumbles upon an unsolved murder case that, for the last 47 years, has haunted his former stepfather, the Monroe Police Department, and the tightknit community that she lived in. Unable to get specifics from the old and new guard of detectives, Hanson forged ahead, mining what he could from previously released articles and people who lived in the neighborhood at the time.  DEAD END ROAD honors Renee Freer’s memory and asks its readers: how will you help?  Register for this program on the Library’s website www.woodburylibraryct.org or call 203-263-3502 for more information.

With a Song in My Heart: A History of Singing in the Movies | Southbury Public Library | January 16th 2-3:30PM

From the moment movies learned to talk, they learned to sing. The film industry did its best to showcase these performers with a variety of creative techniques, from elaborate production numbers to imaginative camerawork, all designed to enhance the emotional power of seeing and hearing singers like Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Lena Horne, and Frank Sinatra come alive on the big screen. Join us as we explore the varying ways Holllywood captured its star vocalists through the decades, and provided audiences then and now with an invaluable record of indelible performances.

Like all Southbury Public Library programs, this program is free to attend and open to anyone regardless of town of residency. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library. Registration is required. Zoom invitation links will be sent via email on the day of the program. Register here.
