Special Movie Screening and Discussion
Join Jennifer Geroge, Adult Services Librarian, Friday, May 25th at 2:00 p.m., for a special showing of the screen adaption of the “World Book Night” give-away novel.
We can’t advertise the title of it here due to copyright laws, but you can contact Jennifer at 367-1902, ext. 212 (jgeorge [at] atchisonlibrary.org) and find out all about it. After the movie, there will be a discussion about the book and the movie. Even if you haven’t read the book, come watch the film. It’s a great story and a wonderful movie. A note to parents: this is a dramatic movie and young children probably will not appreciate it. Also, any child under 10 MUST be accompanied by a parent, as per the library’s Unattended Children Policy.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION
Due to staff training, THE LIBRARY WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL 9:30 A.M., TOMORROW, MAY 18th. We apologize for this late notice and the inconvenience caused to our patrons. Please use the book return located in alley behind the building. Thanks for your understanding.
