It's foreign film night at the library! Tonight, we will be showing Silent Waters (Khamosh Pani) from Pakistan. I watched it several months ago, and decided to make it part of our series because of its emotional and visual impact. It just struck me as something everyone needs to watch so that the events that were being portrayed in this film should never happen again. The story was so gripping that I remember crying when I first viewed it. This film is part of the Human Rights Watch film series which "annually endorses selected First Run titles that shed light on human rights abuses throughout the world." I hope that everyone who comes to see this film takes away from it something special and fulfilling as I did. This movie will be shown twice: Monday, March 9 at 6:00pm and Tuesday, March 10 at 1:00pm. Free popcorn and soda will be provided. Go to our website to sign up or find more information http://www.quincylibrary.org We're getting our new book club newsletters out in the mail. The copier is working overtime trying to print them all out. Katie Kraushaar, book club coordinator, and I will try to get all the labels printed and attached. Those newsletters need to go out to as many people as possible! Please read about all the great books our book clubs have planned for the next three months. Our foreign flicks will also be included, with their descriptions and show times.
