Library to Host Screening of “Divergent”

Tompkins County Public Library will continue its young adult “Book to Movie Series” March 13 with an after-hours screening of “Divergent.”

Adapted from the bestselling Veronica Roth novel of the same name, “Divergent” is set in a futuristic dystopia where society is divided into five factions which represent a different virtue. Teens are forced to decide whether to stay in the faction they were born into or abandon all they have known to join another faction.

This film presentation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room and is free and open to young adults ages 11 to 19.  Refreshments will be provided.

This movie has been selected with a teen audience in mind; however, parents are encouraged to review ratings of each movie prior to allowing their children to attend. The Library will not restrict admittance to films based on age or maturity.

For more information, contact Young Adult Services Librarian Regina DeMauro at (607) 272-4557 extension 274 or rdemauro@tcpl.org.

This program has been made possible by the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation through generous support from the Michael Kammen Children’s Fund.
