Film Talk with the Oliver Wolcott Library Staff

LITCHFIELD, Conn. - Sept. 14, 2016 - PRLog -- With so many choices on the new shelves and in our stacks, it can be difficult to find the right film or series to watch! Let us be your personal guide by hearing about what we've been watching.

Join the Oliver Wolcott Library Director Ann Marie White, Librarian Patricia Moore, and Library Book Club Liaison Cameron Bove as we share some of our favorite films and television series. From recent releases to classic films, we'll look at a broad spectrum of genres and styles of film.

Eighteen films or series will be shared. For each, we'll give a brief story line, share our thoughts on the films or series, and share why you should add them to your list. A list of each film selected, along with who recommended it, will be provided at the talk as well as available for download from our website at its conclusion. After the film talk, copies of all of the films discussed will be available for check-out!
