Movie Night in the Library

We are having our first movie night in the Library on Wednesday, October 7th from 3:30 to 5:30. We will be showing the movie "Coraline," based on the book by author Neil Gaiman. Check out the trailer below:




Coraline was written by British author Neil Gaiman in 2002. It is considered to be a fantasy/horror novel. The story begins with Coraline and her parents moving into an old house. As she explores her new home, she discovers a locked door. She takes the key and opens the door only to find herself entering another world that is almost identical to her own. However, in this world there are dark and mysterious characters and strange things happening.



Join us for a reading from the book and the movie. Be sure to sign up in the binder on the "Pop in a Book" table. Space is limited!

Last Movie Night of the Year!

That's right - we will be having our last movie night on Tuesday, June 16th in the library from 3:30 to 5:30. Our movie will be "The City of Ember," based on a book by Jeanne DuPrau.

This story revolves around the city of Ember, a human settlement that lives in the pitch black, but is also know as the only city with light in a dark world. However, their electrical supply is slowly dying. Lina Mayfleet and Doon Harrow decode instructions that will lead them to safety in the outside world and perhaps save their city.

Join us for the movie!
