Game Day: Senet, Mehen, & Aseb @ The Miller Room
In honor of the 103 anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb (on November 4, 1922), we will explore board games from ancient Egypt – the games of Senet, Mehen, and Aseb (20 Squares). Perhaps the most popular and longest-played ancient Egyptian game, Senet – which means “passing along” – became associated with the journey to the afterlife and dates back to around 3300 BC. Five Senet boards were found in King Tut’s burial chambers, and Queen Nefertari’s tomb features a wall painting of the queen playing Senet as well. Limited seating and game supplies available; first-come, first-served.
The Miller Special Collections Room is on the first floor of the Billie Jean King Main Library, located at 200 W. Broadway (on the corner of Broadway & Pacific). Library parking is available in the structure at Broadway & Chestnut Avenue. With library validation, parking is free for the first 30 minutes & $2.00 for 2 hours; daily maximum is $12.

American Life Film Series: The Straight Story @ The Miller Room
This Thanksgiving weekend, join us for a screening of the heartwarming 1999 Academy Award-winning drama, THE STRAIGHT STORY -- a sweet and gentle reflection on family, aging, and focusing on what’s most important as we journey toward the autumn of life. Based on a true story, this film is about an elderly man in his 70s, Alvin Straight, who learns that his estranged brother Lyle has had a stroke and may not recover. Determined to reconcile with his brother while he still can (but living far away without a driver’s license), Alvin decides to make the trip on an old lawnmower, “thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual odyssey.” (www.rottentomatoes.com) Directed by David Lynch; starring Richard Farnsworth & Sissy Spacek. Rated G. A brief introduction will be presented before the film, with discussion afterward.
