Images Cinema at the Milne
| Join us Saturday, September 13th at 7:30 p.m. as we kick off our collaboration with Images Cinema in style with The Music Man!
Traveling con artist Harold Hill targets the naĂŻve residents of a small town in 1910s Iowa by posing as a boys' band leader to raise money before skipping town.
Weather permitting, we will be showing the movie outdoors in our courtyard. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets.
Popcorn and some beverages will be available free of charge. | |
|
|
Please Note: If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will be in the Community Room. The rest of the library building will not be open except for bathroom access.
