WINCHENDON — Are you looking for something fun to do indoors now that the weather is getting colder? Then head over to the Beals Memorial Library, where they’ll be screening some great movies, new and old! Each month, the library hosts four indoor film events, fit for varying audiences. Here’s what’s playing this month:
On Wednesday, Nov. 10, at 6 p.m., the library will be showing “My Salinger Year” for this month’s Adult Movie Night. Starring Sigourney Weaver, Margaret Qualley and Douglas Booth, the film follows a young woman who takes a job working for the literary agent of the solitary author, J.D. Salinger.
That same week, on Saturday, Nov. 13, at 11 a.m., the library selected “Paw Patrol: The Movie” for this month’s Family Matinee. In this spinoff of the hit children’s cartoon, Ryder and the pups head off to Adventure City to stop the wicked Mayor Humdinger from wreaking chaos on the city.
On Nov. 18, the library will be showing two films on the same day, starting off with their Classic Matinee at 1:30 p.m. This month’s selection is the 1967 prison drama film, “Cool Hand Luke.” Starring Paul Newman and featuring George Kennedy, the film follows Luke, a man sentenced to two years in a chain gang at a rural prison who refuses to conform to the rules.
Also on Nov. 18th, at 6 p.m., the library will be wrapping up the month with their “Doc & Talk” documentary and discussion program. This month’s documentary centers on a forester’s unique experience with the trees he worked with.
All movies at the Beals Memorial Library are free and open to the public. All movies are shown in the library’s auditorium, and all guests must wear masks while inside the library. Movie-goers are welcome to bring their own snacks to the movies.
