Monday Night Movies |
|
 The holiday season wouldn't be complete without a visit from a certain someone.
That's right — Dr. Seuss' despicable green character, the Grinch. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
is our Monday Night Movie for the month, showing
at 5 p.m., December 9. The free family-oriented movie showings also include free pizza, popcorn and hot chocolate. Why is the Grinch such a grouch? No one seems to know, until little Cindy Lou Who takes matters into her own hands and turns both Whoville and the Grinch's world upside down, inside out, and funny side up in her search for the true meaning of Christmas. For more information, visit the library or call 937.783.3585. |
