Voorheesville Library Notes for Thursday, March 7, 2019

Join us at the Voorheesville Public Library on Sunday, March 10, at 2 p.m. for a free film.

“Inspired by the imagination of P.T.Barnum, this movie is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation,” is how the Internet Movie Database describes the movie.

Light refreshments will be served. Check the online calendar or call for movie title.
