Third Thursday Always Entertaining at the Pearl Public Library.

You wanna know why?

Glad you asked!

Because it's MOVIE NIGHT, and Ben knows how to pick a big winner!

Third Thursday Flicks for January is Hoosiers showing Thurs. Jan. 16 at 5:45 p.m. on a big screen.  Enjoy light refreshments too!

In this 1986 movie Hoosiers, failed basketball Coach Norman Dale played by Gene Hackman finds himself in this tiny town of Hickory, Indiana and with a chance at redemption.  

Hoosiers is a great story about a high school basketball team's long-shot attempt to win the state championship. The film is inspired by the true story of the 1954 Indiana state champions, Milan High School.

Nominated for two Oscars Hoosiers, also starring famed actors Dennis Hopper and Barbara Hershey, was hailed as one of the best sports movies of all time.

Come on in and be totally entertained with this big winner!

While we are talking about winning, don't forget about the January How-To Tuesday on Tues. Jan. 21 at 6 p.m. You'll get a change to learn about the City of Pearl while playing Pearl-Opoly!

What a wonderful chance to just have some good ol' fun while visiting with friends!

OMG! Visiting with friends! That reminds me!

Goodness, all these free, wonderful offerings seem like such a blessing don't they? Sure do.

And, hey, the Pearl Library also gives you a chance to be a blessing too!

Lisa reports that the Pearl Library Blessing Box started by Team Tungsten Robotics has been a huge success.   "We had many generous donations in November and December which sustained us throughout January. We are now in need of more canned food donations to help those in our community who are in need," she said. "We are accepting cereals, boxed foods, canned foods, and hygiene items.  Items can be placed directly in the blessing box in our front lobby or brought to the circulation or reference desks if the box is currently full.  Thank you for supporting your community!"

WOW! So much good stuff! You just have to get in all of the Pearl Library's February LOVE!

We'll see you there!
