Adults – the Next Chapter Monday Matinee continues Monday, September 28 at 2:00 in our downstairs Meeting Room. We look forward to seeing Disney Encanto, the 2021 animated film where an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift - every child except one, Mirabel. This film features the vocal talents of Stephanie Beatriz, Maria Cecilia Botero, John Leguizamo, Mauro Castillo, and Jessica Darrow.

Celebrate spooky season and test your wits at Freeman’s first ever escape room!

Coinciding with this year’s Gulf Coast Reads pick, The Librarians by Sherry Thomas, this escape room is themed around an abandoned library found in a mysterious house left to you through an inheritance. 

You’ll have 90 minutes to complete the room with a group maximum of 4 people.

Attendees under the age of 12 must have an adult in their group.

Join us on the third Monday of each month as we discuss a book chosen from a variety of genres!
