Parker Williams Branch Library

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.
