We're partnering with Dreamland Cinema to bring you the Film Group: Desperately Seeking Something, a series of three monthly film viewing and discussion events. We hope to bring people together to inform our viewing of film by reading excerpts from the book Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls before the film. Please plan to come prepared. We will discuss the outlined reading listed in each program description. Library staff will lead a discussion about the film and reading following the film screening. This series is for adults only (18+) and registration is required.
