Family Film: "Brave", Sat. 11/17 AND Wed. 11/21

Brave
Rated PG (100 Minutes)

Saturday, November 17 @ 2:30 pm AND
Wednesday, November 21 @ 11 am (School's out!)

Set in the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland, Disney Pixar's Brave follows the heroic journey of Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer and headstrong daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to change her fate, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the unruly and uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane), unleashing chaos in the kingdom. When she turns to an eccentric Witch (voice of Julie Walters), she is granted an ill-fated wish and the ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her resources including her mischievous triplet brothers to undo a beastly curse and discover the meaning of true bravery.

Admission is FREE. Snacks and drinks are provided courtesy of the Friends of the Lane Memorial Library.

Veterans Day (observed), Monday, November 12, 2012

The library will be open on Veterans' Day, Monday, November 12, 2012 from 9 am until 5 pm.

We will have a special craft in the Children's Room available all day. Bring your kids in to make a Thank You card for a Veteran. We will provide the cards as well as stickers, markers, etc. to decorate them and we will deliver the cards to Legion Post 35 for distribution.

Additionally, we are showing a classic movie: The Great Escape, (1963, Not Rated, 2 hrs. 50 mins.), starring Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Garner and James Coburn at 2 pm.  The Great Escape is based on the true story of a group of Allied prisoners of war who managed to escape from an allegedly impenetrable Nazi prison camp during World War II. An epic adventure film, The Great Escape runs nearly three hours, featuring a rousing Elmer Bernstein score and exciting action sequences -- including a notorious motorcycle chase between McQueen and the Nazis -- the likes of which had never been seen before in Hollywood productions. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Admission is FREE. Popcorn and water are provided courtesy of the Friends of the Lane Memorial Library.
