Get in the Game

at the Smart Store

R O

The air is crisp, the leaves are falling and the Friday night lights are calling. If you have football on the brain, you’ll cheer for our exciting lineup.

This fall, talk sports with the experts, explore the history of the game and root for the underdog at Stark County District Library.

Huddle up with Speaking of Books Author Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger

Against all odds on a gridiron in South Bend, Indiana, Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, in twenty-seven seconds, carved his name into history books as perhaps the most famous graduate of the University of Notre Dame.

It took years of fierce determination to overcome obstacles and criticisms, yet Rudy achieved his dream—to attend Notre Dame and play football for the Fighting Irish. As fans cheered, he sacked the quarterback in his only play in the only game of his college football career. In 1993, his life story was immortalized with the blockbuster film, RUDY. Rudy kicks off the library’s 2017–18 season of The Dr. Audrey Lavin Speaking of Books Author Series, and his book is this year’s One Book, One Community selection.

Listen to his legendary story at the Canton Palace Theatre on October 24th at 6:30 pm.

DANIEL “RUDY” RUETTIGER

Who is Dr. Audrey Lavin?

Daniel “Rudy” Reuttiger defied the odds with 27 seconds of greatness in his story of fierce determination. In 1993, his story was immortalized in the hit movie Rudy. He is now a renowned motivational speaker and focused on strengthening communities by offering scholarships in education, sports and the arts. He is also Stark County’s One Book, One Community selection for 2017. 

This series honors Dr. Audrey Lavin, our own local “celebrity” author, a globe-trotting academic, a champion of writers, and a tireless supporter of the Library.
