Welcome to ON THIS DAY! Each day, we'll look at a few moments from history and popular culture. We'll show you where you can rediscover classic movies and music, or read more about great moments in history. We'll point you to e-books, downloadable and streamable music and film, and e-audio; and of course, we haven't forgotten about physical books or DVDs.

	On this day in 1909, Clyde Barrow was born. Barrow was the leader of a gang of thieves who committed dozens of robberies between 1931 and 1934. Barrow and his girlfriend, Bonnie Parker, were among America's first celebrity criminals; for some, they were romanticized as outsiders fighting back against the system. Bonnie and Clyde were killed in 1934 when they were ambushed by a posse of Texas and Louisiana police officers. Jeff Guinn's Go Down Together tells the Bonnie and Clyde story; it's available as an e-book from OverDrive, or in print.
	On this day in 1919, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born. Ferlinghetti is a poet, painter, and publisher. It was his bookstore/publishing company, City Lights, that published Allen Ginsberg's Howl in 1956, leading to Ferlinghetti's trial on obscenity charges; he was acquitted in 1957. City Lights is best known for its publication and advocacy of the Beat poets; the bookstore was made an official historical landmark by San Francisco in 2001. The documentary Ferlinghetti: A Rebirth of Wonder looks at Ferlinghetti's life, art, and literary influence; it's available for streaming at Hoopla.
	And on this day in 1930, Steve McQueen was born. McQueen's first big break came in television, where he starred for three years in the Western Wanted: Dead or Alive. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he became a major movie star, generally playing rebellious anti-heroes. Among his memorable films are The Magnificent Seven, Bullitt, and Papillon. Marc Eliot's biography Steve McQueen offers a comprehensive look at McQueen's life and career; it's available as an e-book or e-audio from OverDrive, or in print.
