Classic Country to Cuban Jazz

We've got a little bit of everything at Columbia City Theater this week. We're excited to welcome multi-instrumentalist Danny Barnes to our stage Thursday. The theatrics of Brother Bear and toe-tapping tunes of The Smokey Brights will grace our stage Friday. Saturday we'll be two-stepping as some of Seattle's sweetest voices pay tribute to the legendary ladies of classic country and Sunday we'll be salsa dancing to Orchestra Zarabanda.

Local effort to revive Columbia City Cinema

SEEDArts, Southeast Seattle's largest non-profit arts organization, has announced plans to revive the Columbia City Cinema. The cinema, which featured first-run films on three screens, was popular with all of the neighborhoods in Southeast Seattle. The area suffered a great blow with the closure of the Cinema in May 2011, and since then residents and businesses have repeatedly expressed a desire to bring back the movie house. In response, SEEDArts has been working with a 10 member Community Advisory Board to investigate the feasibility of raising funds to refurbish and reopen the cinema.

Share your thoughts with the library

Do you check out books or DVDs from the library? Do you come to the library for story time, to use a free computer or listen to an author? Or do you come for homework help for students, internet access, research, community events, job search activities, or online learning? The Seattle Public Library needs to hear from you. The library wants your input on priorities for improvement in four areas: hours, books and materials, computers and online services, and maintenance. We'll also discuss strategies for stabilizing library funding.

Please join us for these important community meetings.
