SUMMARY:The Making of Mary Poppins with Disney History Institute scholar Todd James Pierce
DESCRIPTION:MAKING MARY POPPINS explores the unknown story of one of Disney’s most beloved films\, including the songwriters who brought it to life. \nFor many of us of a certain age\, Mary Poppins was one of the most memorable film experiences of our youth — this classic Disney film was the movie-going sensation of the holiday season of 1964. Filmed on the studio lot here in Burbank just a few blocks away\, Mary Poppins is a part of our local history. In an illustrated talk\, Disney History Institute scholar Todd James Pierce will put you in the room as Walt Disney\, the Sherman brothers\, P.J. Travers\, and others\, giving an inside view of their ideas for the development of the narrative and songs for the film. You will be there as the film is created. \nLong before Mary Poppins danced across the rooftops of Edwardian London and into the hearts of millions\, Robert and Richard Sherman were struggling songwriters in Los Angeles\, trying to find their voices—and their futures. In MAKING MARY POPPINS: The Sherman Brothers\, Walt Disney\, and the Creation of the Classic Film [W. W. Norton & Company; November 11\, 2025]\, Pierce traces the unlikely path that brought the Sherman brothers to Walt Disney’s attention\, and how their personal history\, musical genius\, and emotional lives shaped the film’s unforgettable songs and surprising storyline. \nFrom their early days writing novelty tunes to the high-stakes drama of working with P. L. Travers and Walt Disney himself\, the Sherman brothers’ story is rich with behind-the-scenes intrigue\, creative breakthroughs\, and quiet triumphs. Their work on Mary Poppins not only launched their careers—it transformed Disney’s live-action division and influenced an entire era of musical filmmaking. \nWhile the Shermans and their songs are at the heart of the book\, there are also lively anecdotes about the casting of the movie\, the innovative special effects\, and the relationship between Mary Poppins and the larger Disney world. MAKING MARY POPPINS tells the fascinating story behind an iconic film. A must-read for Disney fans\, film buffs\, and lovers of classic musicals\, this is the definitive account of how one magical nanny came to life and helped change the face of Hollywood. \nThe book will be available for sale and the author will host a signing after the program. A great gift for the holidays!\nRSVP at https://burbank.libnet.info/event/14864592

SUMMARY:aja monet's Florida Water (Book Release) at Buena Vista Library
DESCRIPTION:Burbank Public Library proudly presents an evening with celebrated poet and activist aja monet\, discussing her new collection Florida Water! \nFlorida Water is a collection of poems that\, like the cleansing waters of spiritual baths\, rinse\, reflect\, and reveal the raw truths that lie within. \nIn this vulnerable meditation\, aja monet reflects on her migration to South Florida in search of love\, connection\, and belonging\, unearthing the delicate balance between the poet\, lover\, and community organizer. These poems lay bare the tender dance of relationships\, entwining the personal with the political\, as they confront the state’s fractured history of racial prejudice\, marooned peoples\, and the unruly forces of nature. \nIn Florida Water\, each poem is an artifact—an offering from her time spent wading through the rising tides of climate change\, heartbreak\, and systemic violence. With each line\, monet immerses us deeper into the water\, where the currents of memory\, struggle\, and survival pull us toward both despair and hope. \nCopies of Florida Water will be available for purchase and signing by the author.\nhttps://burbank.libnet.info/event/13500932

Meet the Writers Guild Foundation\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history and craft of writing for the screen. The Shavelson-Webb Library is home to nearly 50\,000 film and TV scripts and the Archive contains one-of-a-kind material like unproduced screenplays\, correspondence\, and development documents. The Foundation also hosts public events featuring film and TV writers and community outreach programs that create career pathways for emerging writers and underserved communities. In this program\, panelists will share how the WGF can help in your writing process and once your script has been written. Learn how best to use the WGF’s unique resources to further your screenwriting goals. The panelists will highlight the best places for information about finding representation\, writing groups\, entering contests\, and more. \nPanelists will also bring treasures from the library and archive so attendees can see firsthand what a great script looks like on the page and the process it takes to get there. They will have examples of pitches\, show bibles\, and writers’ room documents in addition to old and new classics. \nBurbank Public Library staff member Matt Legarreta will speak about what he’s learned while completing a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in screenwriting and how that fits into his career goals. \nREGISTER at https://burbank.libnet.info/event/11014796
