Program Description

Event Details

Join us at Varsity Cinema for a party to kick off the 2023 Summer Reading Challenge and the launch of our Summer Reading Cinema Clubhouse film series! Rosie and a few of her librarian friends will be signing kids up for summer reading (get a free book!), plus contests, and much more fun.

After the party, head into the theater to watch the film, The Bad Guys. Admission to the party is free, and tickets to the movie are $9 for kids, $12 for adults, and every child gets free popcorn!

Cinema Clubhouse is a curated matinee movie series, and each weekend in June will feature a different film adaptation of a kids book selected by our DMPL librarians!
