Teens and adults are invited to attend a free showing of Ken Burns’ epic documentary on the Civil War. The Civil War began 150 years ago this year. Join us to view this excellent documentary to gain a greater understanding of a pivotal period in American History. The film will be shown in 5 installments on Tuesday nights in February and March. The screenings will be held on February 8 at 7pm, February 15 at 6pm, February 22 at 6pm, March 1 at 6pm, and March 8 at 6pm. All screenings are at the Corinth Free Library, 89 Main St., Corinth.
This program is made possible by a gift awarded to the library through the We the People Bookshelf national grant project. The library was one of 4,000 libraries across the country selected to receive a We the People Bookshelf grant, which provided free hardcover editions of 17 classic books on the theme of “A More Perfect Union.” The library also received bonus materials, including a DVD edition of “The Civil War,” the award-winning documentary by Ken Burns. The grant was awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in cooperation with the American Library Association.

The library will be closed on Monday February 21 for Presidents Day.

January brings cold, snow and board games.  That’s right – the board game club is back.  Join us on Thursday afternoons in January and February from 2:30 until closing at 5 for a variety of board games – we have dozens, or bring your own.   It’s a sure cure for Cabin Fever.
