All classics have a common trait - they are timeless. It's the essence of being a classic, and the reason that you can read a classic book, watch a classic movie, wear classic fashion, drive a classic car, and play a classic video game (yes, I feel old, too!), and easily see the elements of influence from all of these things represented in the even most contemporary and innovative works of art and technology today. Which is why it can be incredibly fun, enlightening, and satisfying to kick back and enjoy a classic novel or film - whether you'll be reading it on your e-reader, watching it on your iPad, or a simply turning the pages in a book.

Please join us this February, March, and April for our Spring Classics Discussion Series. This time, our selections feature a mysterious death that haunts a marriage, a coming-of-age tale about conformity and independence, a madwoman locked in an attack, and one of the most romantic stories every written. For each selection, we'll begin with a Monday afternoon movie showing. Then, the following Thursday afternoon, join us to chat about the respective books and authors over tea & scones in our cozy Classics room, located on the 2nd floor.
