Through his love letters, Cyrano's true spirit is revealed. His amazingly amorous nature makes itself known through his communications to his beloved. Along the way, a new recruit to his regiment makes himself useful as the face of Cyrano. Because the odds are stacked against him, Cyrano wonders whether his fate is to love Roxanne from afar.

HOLIDAY CLOSING: Please take note that the Library will be closed on Monday, July 4^th, in recognition of Independence Day. Take care to stock up early, but also remember that Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy are open 24/7 with a current membership in good standing.
