Library to Host Screening of “The Giver”

Tompkins County Public Library will host a free screening of the summer 2014 blockbuster, “The Giver,” February 20 at 3 p.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.

Adapted from the iconic Lois Lowry novel of the same name, “The Giver” is a Newberry Award-winning social, science fiction novel that follows main character, Jonas, as he learns that the societal norms of his community are actually an attempt to shut out reality and stifle individual liberties.

This film presentation 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.
