Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, August 12-14, 2020 B-3 The Park Record Book club members find ways around COVID-19 Virtual meeting will examine McEwan’s ‘The Children’s Act’ SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record The Summit County Library Book to Film Club got creative when the novel coronavirus pandemic shut things down in March. Members stopped meeting at the library to watch and discuss films based on the books they were reading and switched to watching the films individually and meeting through Zoom for the discussions. The group is currently reading Ian McEwan’s novel, “The Children Act,” and watching Richard Eyre’s film of the same name in preparation for the next Book to Film Club virtual discussion scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20. “The Children Act” is a novel about a high court judge who has to decide whether or not to order a teen to undergo a blood transfusion that could save his life. The conflict comes from the boy and his family who are refusing medical treatment because of their religion. People check out an eBook by visiting utahsonlinelibrary. overdrive.com/utahsonlinelib r a r y - s u m m i t / c o n t e n t / m edia/1681868, and readers can register to watch the film by visiting summitcounty.kanopy.com/ product/children-act. “We give all cardholding members of the Summit County Library 10 play credits each month, Continued from B-2 Band readies its debut “Because we were in the middle of the quarantine, we hadn’t played together for awhile,” Sangster said. “So it took some time to get back into the groove in general.” The album also features a 3guest, Park City-based singer-songwriter Wyatt Pike, who introduced Sundog Sky to Pale Horse Sound. “Wyatt played bass for us, because we don’t have a permanent bass player at the moment,” Sangster said. The band named the album “Fishing in a Pair of Jeans” after and they can use these credits to watch 10 films a month online through this service,” said library director Daniel Compton. “The films span the genres — independent, documentaries and features. And while Kanopy doesn’t have access to every film, luckily ‘The Children Act’ happens to be one of the films available.” The book and DVD can also be checked out from the Summit County Library and picked up curbside, according to Compton. All the library branches at Kimball Junction, Kamas and Coalville offer curbside pickup from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, he said. Compton said the books for the club need to generate thoughtful discussions. “We select books like ‘The Children Act’ because they bring up moral dilemmas and issues that you can really talk about,” he said. “They prove to be better for the group than those entertaining page-turners that leave not a lot to talk about except, maybe, the plot.” The challenge for Compton is finding books that are enjoyable to read and films that are enjoyable to watch. “Oftentimes it’s either one or the other,” he said with a laugh. “Sometimes we don’t always find winners on both fronts, but we do our best.” Compton is happy members of the Book to Film Club were open to finding new ways to discuss books and adhere to the COVID-19 social distancing protocols. “I would love to get back to a brainstorm. “It’s the title of one of the songs that kind of has this chanting groove to it,” Sangster said. “We had come up with some other ideas, but we really wanted to choose a title that was a little more casual and funny.” Sangster’s friend Angelina Ortiz created the cover art. “She worked with me at Canyons Mountain Sports last winter and showed me some of her cool art,” he said. “So we contracted her to make it.” Although recording an album had always been Sundog Sky’s goal, Sangster said he’s glad it took a few years to see it done. “We did have a batch of songs a year after we broke off on our own, but we really weren’t thinking realistically,” he said. “We all thought we could record some things at my house, but we didn’t. And I think that was a good thing, because we wanted to do it right. We didn’t want to just settle on the first thing that we thought #1 Title Company 2018 Th e Park Record. 2019 Committed To NARI TROTTER STEFANIE BOWEN (435) 649-8322 theteam@parkcitytitle.com 1670 Bonanza Drive • Park Record Building 434 Main Street Park City, Utah 435-655-9505 www.purplesageparkcity.com We are back!
