Exclusive Peterborough Film Engagement

THE HOLLYWOOD LIBRARIAN!

Members of the Trent University community are invited to join Bata Library staff at the exclusive Peterborough screening of the full-length documentary, The Hollywood Librarian: A Look at Librarians through Film. The 96-minute film is funny, provoking, and often moving and may hold some surprises!

Our library colleagues from Sir Sandford Fleming College, Peterborough Public Library, and the two local school boards are joining us for this evening of camaraderie.

Admission is by donation with proceeds gratefully accepted on behalf of Frontier College at Trent University. Light refreshments will be on offer at this not-to-be-missed event.

Join us on Wednesday, February 18th at 3:30 p.m. in the Bata Library Film Theatre.

Trent University contact person Peggy Lunn, Library Finance and Administration Manager.
