Thursday evening is Family Movie Night at Southworth Library this summer. From July 10th through August 14th, the library will be offering free popcorn and a movie at 7:00 on Thursday evenings. Movie viewers may bring their own snacks to the shows, and their own chairs of preferred to our auditorium’s seating. All movies will tie in with this summer’s reading program theme, Wild Reads at Your Library! Each DVD will be added to our library’s collection after its public showing.
Thursday July 10th – Born Free (1966)
This movie is based on the best-selling book, Born Free by Joy Adamson. Adamson and her husband lived in Kenya, where he was a game warden. They adopt an orphan lion cub, but must teach her how to live in the wild when she grows up. Won the 1967 Oscar for Best Music Score and Best Song, and nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama, and Best Actress – Drama. Rated PG for some wild animal action and brief language.
This summer, for the first time, adults and young adults are invited to join a summer reading club at Southworth Library. The theme this summer is “Wild Reads at the Dartmouth Library.” To participate, just fill out a short registration form at the library, pick up a punch card, and start reading. For every 30 minutes that you read, mark off an X on your punch card. When you have read for 6 hours and marked off all 12 Xs, print your name and phone number on the card and drop it into our Wild Reads container. Cards will be drawn from the container to award restaurant gift certificates to lucky summer readers. You may enter a card for every 6 hours of reading, including reading newspapers, magazines, cereal boxes, etc. Keep track of your reading this summer and the library may treat you to dinner!
Beginning with our new fiscal year in July 2008, we are able to increase our hours thanks to the voter support in the April election.
New Hours:
Monday through Thursday 9:00a.m.-8:00p.m.
Friday and Saturday 9:00a.m.-5:00p.m.
Please note the library will be closed the first Friday and Saturday in July for the Independence Day Holiday.
