Program Description

Event Details

Join us at Walkertown Branch Library for our exciting new "Page to Screen Book Club"! This unique club combines the joy of reading with the thrill of cinema, offering adult readers a fresh perspective on beloved stories. 

How it works: 

  • Each month, we'll select a book that has been adapted into a film. 

  • Members will read the chosen book at their own pace. 

  • We'll gather for a film screening of the book's adaptation at the library. 

  • After the screening, we'll engage in a lively discussion comparing the book to the film. 

Our book selections will span various genres and topics, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience for all participants. From classic literature to contemporary bestsellers, we'll explore how these stories translate from page to screen. 

This book club is perfect for: 

  • Avid readers looking to expand their literary horizons 

  • Film enthusiasts interested in adaptation techniques 

  • Those who enjoy thought-provoking discussions about storytelling 

  • Anyone looking to connect with fellow book and movie lovers in the community 

Join us for an enriching experience that bridges the gap between literature and cinema. It's a fantastic opportunity to discover new books, revisit old favorites, and gain fresh insights into the art of storytelling across different mediums.
