Teen Movies over February Break

Two movies will be shown in the Brooks Memorial Library’s meeting room over the February School Break. The first showing will be JUNO on Thursday, February 26th at 1pm. The second will be PERSEPOLIS on Friday, February 27th at 1pm.



JUNO (2007) is a tale told over four seasons, starting in autumn when Juno, a 16-year-old high-school junior in Minnesota, discovers she's pregnant and decides to find adoptive parents for her child. Very funny with great soundtrack!




PERSEPOLIS (2007) is an animated film based on the book of the same name by author Marjane Satrapi. It is the story of a young girl growing up in Iran and observing the political currents of the time and how they affect her family. Beautiful black and white animation!



SEE YOU THERE!!
