Film Screening: Monday, March 22 at 2 PM
Book Discussion: Thursday, March 25 at 3 PM

Our Spring Classics Discussion Series continues with a coming-of-age story for the ages! We're spending March with the March Family, reading and watching the beloved American classic, Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. Based loosely on her experiences growing up as the second of four daughters, Alcott's treasured novel follows the fictional March family sisters, from the forward-thinking Joe and the reserved Meg to the compassionate Beth and the dramatic Amy, through years of self-discovery as their father fights in the war.

First, join us for a screening of the 1994 film adaptation of Little Women, for which Winona Ryder gives an Academy Award-nominated performance. The film also boasts an A-list cast, including Susan Sarandon, Gabriel Byrne, Christian Bale, Kirsten Dunst, Eric Stoltz, and Trini Alvarado.

Then, come to our discussion of the book, the time period, and the author. There's so much to share, and we'll talk about it all over afternoon tea in our beautiful Classics Room.

DVD Suggestions: Arthur

I recommend we replace our DVD copy of Arthur (Studio: Warner Home Video Rating: PG), the 1981 comedy starring Dudley Moore, Liza Minelli and John Gielgud. It appears like we have it in the catalog -- but this appears to be a miscategorization of the childrens' DVD Arthur. This would be an excellent addition to the catalog.

Thank you for your suggestion. I agree, this will be a great addition to the collection and will be sure to add it. I will also find the correct artwork for the children's dvds and make the changes.
