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

GREATER SUDBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY
OFFERS STORY TIME FOR CHILDREN
The Greater Sudbury Public Library recognizes the importance of literacy
by presenting Family Story Times, our contribution to the development of
a child’s love of reading and learning. This interactive and fun program
runs every week for a half-hour and is intended for children aged 5 and
under.
The Story Time program is designed to help develop a child’s
appreciation of language, rhythm and imagination through storytelling,
puppetry, songs, finger plays and rhymes. We happily encourage the adult
care givers to participate with the children in all aspects of the
program as we create an atmosphere of topsyturviness.
For more information, please call or visit the Greater Sudbury Public
Library closest to you or contact Monique Roy at 673-1155 extension 270
or visit the library’s website at www.sudbury.library.on.ca.
Walk-ins are welcome.
To quote Philip Pullman “Thou shalt not” is soon forgotten, but “Once
upon a time” lasts forever.
