Hey Family Movie Night Friends! This month's movie, The Pagemaster (1994), takes us to a magical library where the books come to life to tell their stories! In honor of the Gulf Coast Reads Annual Reading Initiative book, the Librarians by Sherry Thomas.
Movie synopsis: A cowardly boy, Richard Tyler (Macaulay Culkin), enters a library to escape a storm, only to be transformed into an animated illustration by the Pagemaster. He has to work through obstacles from classic books to return to real-life.
Looking for some new puzzles? Come swap with us! Starting September 24, bring to the library up to two gently used puzzles in their original box with all the pieces. Receive puzzle swap tickets for the puzzles you bring. Go home with two (new) puzzles of your choice on Swap Day!
Swap Day is on Saturday, October 24, at 2 PM.
