This month’s movie night goes retro!  On Friday, January 23, at 6:30 p.m., we’ll be showing the 80s classic The Goonies.

Following a mysterious treasure map into a spectacular underground realm of twisting passages, outrageous booby-traps and a long-lost pirate ship full of golden dubloons, the kids race to stay one step ahead of a family of bumbling bad guys… and a mild-mannered monster with a face only a mother could love.

Free popcorn, bring your friends!

Have suggestions for future movie nights?  Let me know!  IM or email.

On Tuesday, January 13 at 7 p.m., Charter Communications will be presenting a program on how you can get involved with filming local events.  If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to shoot, produce, and edit film, this is your chance!  The library would love to find a group of teens interested in filming library and community events.  Come check it out!

Registration preferred, but not required.  Sign up online, at the Checkout Desk, or by phone at (203) 775-6241.

Due to yesterday’s weather, we have rescheduled our showing of The Dark Knight for next Tuesday, December 23, at 6 p.m.

Hope to see you all there!
