Middleburgh Library Notes for Wednesday, April 5, 2023

A Monday Family Movie Matinee, screening “Puss in Boots Last Wish” (PG13), will be held at the Middleburgh Library on April 10, starting at 2 p.m.

Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots on his grandest quest yet. The notorious Puss embarks on an epic journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost life.

But with only one life left, Puss will have to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws. In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided against their better judgment by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro.

Together, our trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks and the Three Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner, and terrifying bounty hunter The Big Bad Wolf.  No registration required.  Free popcorn.
