The Main Library will close on August 19 for preventative maintenance, with an anticipated reopening in early October.
During this episode we talk to Animator and Filmmaker Ralph Bakshi, who directed Fritz the Cat, Wizards, and The Lord of the Rings. Mr. Bakshi declares the importance of public libraries, expresses his views on animation, and why he won’t watch Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films.
