Children’s Craft & Family Film Screening
As
excitement builds for the next film in the Star Wars series, the Jones
Library is taking a lighthearted look at the genre. Join us for a
screening the 1987 film written and directed by Mel Brooks, in which
a space bum helps rescue a princess from an evil overlord with the help
of a benevolent elder. Although it borrows most of its plot from the
Star Wars series, this film also pokes fun at
Star Trek, Snow White, and Planet of the Apes, in true Mel Brooks fashion.
Join us in the Woodbury Room on Saturday, December 19 at 2 pm for the screening of this feature film. More information about the movie can be found on the Jones Library website at
www.joneslibrary.org. The film is rated PG.
Children ages 7 and up are invited to attend a Jedi Training at 11 am
on the same day. Come make your Light Saber and a Star Wars craft, then
test your skills with our Jedi obstacle course! Costumes welcomed
and encouraged. Drop-ins are welcome for the Jedi obstacle course, but
registration is required for the craft project. Please contact the
Children’s Room at 413/ 259-3091 to register.
Free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Janet Ryan at 413/259-3223.
