Join us at the Voorheesville Public Library on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 2 p.m. for a fun, contemporary, family film.
“While navigating their careers in Los Angeles, a pianist and an actress fall in love while attempting to reconcile their aspirations for the future,” says Internet Movie Database. The film runs for 128 minutes, and is rated PG.
Trip to Dickinson House
Join us on Tuesday, Sept. 25, for a day trip to visit the Emily Dickinson House in Amherst, Massachusetts. We will have a 60-minute private guided tour of both The Homestead and Evergreens family houses.
After the tour, there is time to explore the museum grounds and village on your own — a short walk to various eateries and shopping. The cost is $55 per person, $50 for Friends of the Library members.
The bus will leave Voorheesville at 7:45 a.m. and return around 6 p.m. The price includes transportation and the museum entry fee. The trip sponsored by the Friends of the Voorheesville Public Library.
