Program Description

Event Details

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.
