THE GREATER SUDBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY PRESENTS:
Free Movie Matinees for Seniors and other adults

The Greater Sudbury Public Library will be presenting a free CHRISTMAS Movie Matinee for Seniors and other adults at the Main Library, 74 MacKenzie Street at 1:00 p.m. on:

Thursday, December 4th, 2008: White Christmas. Comedy; Musical; Romance. The definitive Yuletide film! A simple story of two Army buddies who help their former officer to popularize his winter resort. This framework serves for 15 tuneful Irving Berlin numbers, including “Count Your Blessings”, “Sisters”, “Love You Didn’t Do Right By Me”, and the classic rendering at the title song by Bing Crosby. The four stars are at the peak of their popularity and charm, preserved on celluloid for endless enjoyment.

The movie is free and everyone is welcome.

Lively CSC / Public Library News

Our next Movie Presentation for Seniors and Adults will be on Friday,
November14th @ 1 pm. The movie will be Miss Pettigrew lives for a day.
The movie stars Frances McDormand, Amy Hinds, & Ciaran Hinds.
It runs for 92 minutes.
Bring your own treats to enjoy during the show.

In 1939, Miss Guinevere Pettigrew (Frances McDormand), a middle-aged London governess, finds herself unfairly dismissed from her job. An attempt to gain new employment catapults her into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams).
Within minutes, Miss Pettigrew finds herself swept into a heady high-society milieu -- and, by the end of the day, discovers her own romantic destiny.

November 28th, our feature presentation will be 27 Dresses.
The movie stars Katherine Heigl & James Marsden, and runs for 111 minutes.

Jane (Katherine Heigl) has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself. Her entire life has been about making people happy -- and she has a closet full of 27 bridesmaid dresses to prove it. One memorable evening, Jane manages to shuttle between wedding receptions in Manhattan and Brooklyn, a feat witnessed by Kevin (James Marsden), a newspaper reporter who realizes that a story about this wedding junkie is his ticket off the newspaper's bridal beat.
Jane finds Kevin's cynicism counter to everything she holds dear -- namely weddings, and the two lock horns. Further complicating Jane's once perfectly-ordered life is the arrival of younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman). Tess immediately captures the heart of Jane's boss, George (Edward Burns). Tess enlists her always-accommodating sister to plan yet another wedding -- Tess and George's -- but Jane's feelings for him lead to shocking revelations... and maybe the beginning of a new life.

Friday December 12 @ 1pm Senior / Adult movie - Viewers Choice
Drop by the library and give us the title of a movie you would like us to show. We will
choose the most popular submission to play on this date.

Starting October 27th for 8 weeks- until Dec. 18th we will be having a Weekly Draw for a 2009 Agenda. Drop by and fill in a ballot to win.
