*Masks now optional in the Lincoln Public Library*

The Lincoln Board of Health (BOH) voted to rescind the town-wide indoor
mask mandate effective Monday, March 14, 2022, in response to substantially
improved and positively trending public health data, including Lincoln’s
high vaccination rate.

Residents with weakened immune systems or at increased risk of severe
Covid-19 disease because of age or medical conditions, or who have a
household member at such increased risk, are advised by the Lincoln BOH and
the Commonwealth’s Department of Public Health (DPH) to continue to wear a
mask when indoors other than in their home, even if they are vaccinated.

We encourage the public to continue to wear masks in accordance with their
own comfort level and in compliance with the DPH guidelines cited above.
Private establishments may continue to *require masks upon entry.*

*Updated indoor mask use recommendation as of April 14, 2022*: “Due to
recent data showing an increase in positive COVID-19 cases, the Board of
Health members voted last night to strongly recommend that people wear
masks in public indoor spaces until early May as we see how the infection
rate from the new BA-2 variant evolves over the next few weeks after spring
vacation.”

*IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE* (Fa Yeung Nin Wah)

Directed By Wong Kar-Wai

2000, 1h 38m

Hong Kong Cantonese, Shanghainese with English subtitles

Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung) and Su Li-Zhen (Maggie Cheung Man
Yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are
formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate
bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant,
Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic
longing and fleeting moments. With its aching soundtrack and exquisitely
abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping Bing, this
film has been a major stylistic influence on the past two decades of cinema
and is a milestone in Wong’s redoubtable career.
