Book to Film Discussion Group
Some of the most enduring films have been inspired by great literature. And some books seemed to be nothing special until brought into sharper focus by a great filmmaker. The Eldredge Public Library would like to invite you to join our a book-to-film discussion group.
On the third Thursday of each month we meet at the Library at 6:30 pm, having read the pre-selected book for the month. We watch the movie version together, and then comes the fun as we discuss the merits of each. Facilitated by a Library staff member, the group chooses the titles. We are have an interesting exchange of ideas, thoughts, and impressions. Most of all, we enjoy an evening of fun in a relaxed setting with congenial people!
Thursday, September 16, 2010 - Mystic River by Dennis Lehane
There will be a short business meeting after the movie to decide the titles for the coming year, and whether a change in meeting day or time should be made.
