Please call the library at 937.783.3585 by October 25 to register for the initial program at 6 p.m., Tuesday, October 29.

Hotel Transylvania is our Monday Night Movie for the month, showing
at 5 p.m., October 7. The free family-oriented movie showings also include free pizza, popcorn and drinks. The movie tells the story of Count Dracula, the owner of the Hotel Transylvania, where the world's monsters can take a rest from human civilization. But on the occasion of his daughter's 118th birthday party, they must deal with a human who unexpectedly shows up at the hotel. For more information, visit the library or call 937.783.3585. |
