It’s like a book club…but with MOVIES!
Presenting, our newest discussion club! Every other month we’ll be meeting to discuss and delight in a masterpiece of cinema.
September’s selection is: The Wicker Man (1973, dir. Robin Hardy)
After receiving an anonymous tip, Sergeant Howie travels to a remote Scottish Island in search of a missing girl. Despite residents insisting that she never even existed, Howie doesn’t back down and soon finds himself lost in a unfamiliar world.
An enduring folk-horror masterpiece, the 1973 Wicker Man is often considered among the greatest works of English cinema. Come for the legendary Christopher Lee, and stay for the hypnotic, terrific thrills.
There will be DVD copies at the library, plus the movie is available on the streaming service Kanopy with your library card. No matter how you watch, come prepared to discuss at our meeting!
The youth department is in it’s Snail Mail Era! Come join us for a mail art afternoon making and decorating envelopes and letters. All supplies and a limited amount of postage will be provided to mail the art you create!
