Join us for a NEW discussion group: MOVIE TALKS. We select movies that you might have seen when first released, but warrant repeat viewing; or perhaps you never saw it but is one that may intrigue you. It may even be a movie that you are just dying to share with someone else! We will share information about the plot, characters/actors, and some of the behind-the-scenes trivia. Watch the movie ahead of time and join us for a great discussion! Copies of the film are available at the adult services desk on the second floor of the library.
This month we are discussing one of the most memorable films of all time, The Wizard of Oz. According to the U.S. Library of Congress, it is the most seen film in movie history. In 1989, it was selected by the Library of Congress as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film stars stars Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton.
