The changing face of family life today will be discussed in a film discussion series at the library beginning Monday, September 11. “Faces of Family” begins at 6 p.m. with the discussion of the film “John Q.” This film stars Denzel Washington as a working father who fights back when his son falls through the cracks of the health care system and will be sure to ignite much discussion. Discussion leaders are Don Hodgson and Cristina Colling. A free meal will be served at the library for participants so plan now to attend and join in the discussion of family life in our community.
The library will be closed on Monday, September 4, 2006 for Labor Day, regular hours resume on Tuesday, September 5.
