 Saturday Night Movie at The Library
Saturday, March 10th, 7:30 pm
Our Saturday Night Movies Series continues with the 1963 film Billy Liar. One of the great movies of the British New Wave, it touches on the the comic and often touching fantasies of a restless young undertaker’s assistant who lives unhappily with his dull-witted parents in the dreary working-class town of Leeds. Tom Courtenay stars and Julie Christie debuts in this film directed by the imaginative John Schlesinger. There is a suggested donation of $6 per person and $10 per couple.
 The World of Marc Simont
Saturday, March 17th, 4 - 6 pm
Tom Walker will present an illustrated, entertaining and illuminating talk on Marc Simont’s life and accomplishments, which will be followed by a reception. Donations will be gratefully accepted and will go towards a tree to be planted in Marc’s honor and towards the Library’s children’s program. All donations of $100 or more will receive an autographed copy of Marc’s Caldecott Medal-winning book A Tree Is Nice.
Visit our Children's Programs for a special Marc Simont event for children.
