Movie Marathons to Start Tuesday

During the week between Christmas and New Year's, many kids are off from school, and families are looking for something to do. Next week, the library has your solution, as we present movie marathons on different themes each day Tuesday through Friday. On Tuesday, all of our films have a holiday theme. The brief descriptions of each film are from the Internet Movie Database (at www.imdb.com) a great source of move information anytime!

Here's the rundown for Tuesday's films:

9:00 a.m.-- It's a Wonderful Life (An angel helps a compassionate but despairingly frustrated businessman by showing what life would had been like if he never existed.)

Appx. 11:15 a.m.-- Miracle on 34th Street (A department store Santa tries to convince a little girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus that he is Santa Claus, and winds up going on trial to prove who he is.)

Appx. 1:oo p.m.-- Scrooge (An old bitter miser is given a chance for redemption when he is haunted by ghosts on Christmas Eve.)

Appx. 2:30 p.m.--White Christmas (After leaving the Army after W.W.II, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis team up to become a top song-and-dance act. Davis plays matchmaker and introduces Wallace to a pair of beautiful sisters (Betty and Judy) who also have a song-and-dance act. When Betty and Judy travel to a Vermont lodge to perform a Christmas show, Wallace and Davis follow, only to find their former commander, General Waverly, is the lodge owner. A series of romantic mix-ups ensue as the performers try to help the General.)

All four of these films are rated "G" for enjoyment by your whole family! We hope to see you here!
