Rumor has it there’s a secret treasure hidden in the librarian’s office.
Can you find the treasure and escape before the librarian returns to catch you in the act?
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.
