Sunday Movie: Serenity
Six rebels on the run;
A passenger with a deadly secret;
An assassin in pursuit.
Sunday 2pm Teen Lounge
In the 26th Century, River Tam’s knowledge could be the most dangerous piece of information in the universe—enough certainly to bring down the totalitarian government. She is protected by the crew of Serenity: misfits who hope to stay one step ahead long enough to find proof of the horrors they suspect. There’s space battles, fighting and amazingly funny dialogue. You can watch Firefly, the TV series that inspired the movie online at hulu.
This movie is rated PG-13, so attendance is for teens 13+ only.
Additional parking for evening and weekend Library programs on Thorndal Circle (behind Nielsen's).

Romeo + Juliet. You may have read it for class, but you haven’t seen it like this.

So cool, come see it. (There will be snacks!)
