SUMMARY:Fix-It Clinic and Clothing Swap
DESCRIPTION:Have something in need or repair? Bring it to the Fix-It Clinic! \n \nVolunteers will not only try to fix your item\, but they will teach you how to do it as well!

Even if we can’t fix it\, you’ll learn more about how it was made and works. \nThis event is free to attend\, but it is not a drop-off and fix event. It is a hands-on event where participants can learn how to repair their items with the help of our expert coaches. \nClick here for more information and to reserve your spot! \nHow many items can I bring to the event? \nPlease bring ONE ITEM that needs to be repaired\, and keep in mind we will try our best to solve the problem\, but not every case is a success. Additional items brought in will be listed as a walk-in and serviced on a case-by-case basis. \nWill you accept walk-ins? \nWe will accept walk-ins if there is time\, but it depends on how quickly we can repair the items of the registered attendees. It’s best to make a reservation for help. Click here to sign up.  \nCLOTHING SWAP OUTSIDE \nEmerald Keepers interns will have a clothing swap outside in the Library Park.

SUMMARY:Free film screening of "Three (Extra)Ordinary Women"
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8)\, Soroptimist International of Coronado\, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival\, is proud to host a free screening honoring three extraordinary women whose stories reflect courage\, leadership\, and resilience. This gathering aligns with Soroptimist’s mission to support and empower women and girls\, while creating space for meaningful conversation and connection. When women come together\, we lift one another higher — because reaching the top of any mountain is powerful\, but sharing the view\, the journey\, and the lessons along the way is what truly transforms us all. \n \nThrough captivating images of Mount Kilimanjaro and eye-catching animation\, Three (Extra)Ordinary Women tells the personal stories of three women of color who have collectively overcome poverty\, abuse\, systemic racism\, and political occupation through practicing forgiveness\, helping others\, and immersing themselves in nature. As they brave their biggest physical obstacle yet – climbing Mount Kilimanjaro – trekking up Africa’s tallest peak through arctic temperatures and some of the highest altitude on the planet\, they discover they still have emotional hurdles to climb. \nWhile centering women of color in nature (rarely seen as the outdoors have traditionally not been a safe place for POC)\, the film touches on themes of trauma\, self-worth\, sisterhood\, empowerment\, resilience\, and nature as a healing agent that facilitates growth. \nThis film is timely in light of the conflict taking place between Israel and Palestine by exploring the Palestinian occupation and systemic racism in the United States and how both have equally disenfranchised people of color. But the message is not about more divisiveness\, it is about how tough-yet achievable-forgiveness\, healing\, overcoming\, and reconciliation can be. \nRSVP TODAY:  https://coronadofilmfest.com/three-extraordinary-women/ \nPlease note: An RSVP or reservation does not guarantee a seat.  Seating is first come\, first seated when doors open at 1:30 pm. Guests will not be admitted once the screening has begun. \n

SUMMARY:An evening with Cynthia d’Aprix Sweeney
DESCRIPTION:New York Times bestselling author of The Nest\, Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney will appear in conversation with award-winning writer Madhushree Ghosh to discuss her compelling new novel\, Lake Effect. Hailed by Booklist as “a reverberating\, intergenerational family saga… artful and fresh\,” the novel explores love\, longing\, and the complicated bonds between mothers and daughters as one family reckons with the consequences of a long-buried scandal. A book signing will follow the discussion. \nSweeney’s previous novels\, The Nest and Good Company\, have been widely celebrated\, with The Nest named a best book of the year by People\, The Washington Post\, and NPR\, and currently in development as a limited series with AMC Studios. \nGhosh is the author of the award-winning Khabaar: An Immigrant Journey of Food\, Memory\, and Family and a widely published essayist whose work has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and numerous literary outlets. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come\, first-seated basis. Limited preferred seating is offered with the purchase of Lake Effect through Warwicks Bookstore. \nAbout Lake Effect \nIt’s 1977 and an air of restlessness has settled on the residents of Cambridge Road in Rochester\, New York\, a place long fueled by the booming fortunes of Kodak and Xerox and\, for some\, the mores of the Catholic church. When Nina Larkin is given a copy of The Joy of Sex by her newly divorced friend\, she can no longer dismiss the nearly nonexistent intimacy of her marriage. Just as her oldest child\, Clara\, is falling in love for the first time\, Nina finds herself longing for the forbidden: a midlife awakening. An intoxicating fling with a prominent neighbor brings Nina a freedom she never thought possible — but also risks the reputations of both families and unravels Clara’s world\, just as she stands on the threshold of adulthood. \nYears later\, Clara\, now a successful food stylist in New York City\, has never been able to move past the long-ago scandal. Drawn back home by the pull of a family wedding and wrestling with her own demons\, she makes a pivotal decision that turns her life upside down. Written with Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s signature humor and insight\,  Lake Effect is a wise and probing look at love and desire\, mothers and daughters\, loss and grief\, and what we owe the people we love most.

SUMMARY:CIFF Educational Classic Film: "Shane"
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Island Film Festival’s 2026 Educational Classic Film Program presents the 1953 Classic Western “Shane” directed by George Stevens. \nThe screening is FREE and open to the public of all ages. \n \nShane: Hollywood’s Most Iconic Western?  \nFive short years before the release of Shane\, Director George Stevens returned from a harrowing tour on active-duty during WWII in the Army’s European Film Unit\, for which he was awarded the Legion of Merit. Stevens filmed both the D-Day Invasion and the liberation of the Nazi Death Camp at Dachau\, experiences that profoundly changed him\, for the man with the camera cannot avert his eyes. George Stevens understood death’s horrible finality as few other filmmakers ever have. \nStevens’ young son\, George Jr.\, after reading Jack Schaefer’s huge 1949 bestselling novel\, Shane\, urged his father to bring the story to the big screen. In Stevens’ capable hands as both producer and director\, A. B. Guthrie Jr.’s Oscar nominated screenplay adaptation of Shane yielded one of Hollywood’s most enduring Western classics. Set in the post-civil war homesteading era\, Stevens’ movie never glorifies violence; it is shown sparingly and realistically. Set against the majestic Wyoming mountains\, and based on an actual range war\, Shane is a complex\, multi-layered story of men reluctantly called to defend their homes\, wives\, children\, and community by standing up to other men who have no qualms about violently imposing their will on homesteaders who are “inconvenient” to their way of life on what was once a vast Western open range. \nStevens’ masterpiece features an all-star cast\, including two Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominees\, 10-year-old Brandon DeWilde\, then the youngest nominee ever for a competitive Oscar\, and Jack Palance\, in his first movie role\, as Shane’s darkly menacing adversary. Loyal Griggs breathtakingly captures the splendor of the homesteader’s valley set against the majesty of the Grand Tetons\, work for which Griggs won a Best Cinematography Oscar. \nAt the movie’s core is the unforgettable performance of one of Hollywood’s most unlikely stars\, the diminutive Alan Ladd as Shane\, the tale’s enigmatic Knight Errant. Few cinematic moments are more iconic than Shane riding toward the horizon\, as a young boy’s call to the man he and his family will never forget\, to “come back\,” echo off the Wyoming mountains. \nShane is the fourth screening in the 2026 Educational Classic Film Program “The Art of Adaptation\,” which continues to run through the end of May. \nDon’t miss this chance to screen this milestone film in the chronicle of American cinema and participate in post-screening discussion of Shane’s significance cinematically\, historically and culturally. The screener with “The Best Take” during discussion will receive a handsome hard-copy of the Jack Schaefer novel compliments of CIFF. The remaining 2026 “The Art of Adaptation” screening schedule is\, in April: The Maltese Falcon (1941) and Double Indemnity (1944); and in May: A Tale of Two Cities (1937)\, and Les Misérables (1935).
