Howson Branch Library Family Film Night will show the movie, “Where the Wild Things Are,” on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 at 6:30 pm. This movie is the 2009 American fantasy drama film directed by Spike Jonze and adapted from Maurice Sendak’s 1963 children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world–a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.

Friends of Eilers Park Update!

Hello Park Supporters,

Next to Deep Eddy is a community park, Eilers Park. After three years of hard work, Friends of Eilers Park in collaboration with TBG Partners landscape architects has created a plan for a revitalized and beautiful park (see attached). For the City of Austin and future grant applications, support must be shown by the community that the park is something we need and want. Please view the plans at www.friendsofeilerspark.org and consider supporting the re-creation of this underutilized but potentially beautiful riverfront park with your time, talents, and donations.

For further information, contact Christi Buerger at info@friendsofeilerspark.org.
