Friday, June 24th @ 4 p.m.!
Even though this is the first event for our Teen Summer Reading Program, all ages are invited to come and enjoy the film! Our film choice relates to the display currently up in the Young Adult section of the library: Steampunk.While not 100% Steampunk, this film, created by the revered Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli of Japan, is based on the novel by Diana Wynne Jones, and definitely has a few nods of the head to Steampunk culture.
"Young Sophie Hatter is cursed by the Witch of the Waste, and turns into an old hag. Ashamed of how she looks, she flees into the hills where a moving castle roams the hills. It is said to belong to the young and handsome wizard Howl, who has a bad reputation. Within the castle, Sophie befriends the fire demon Calcifer, who promises to help her become young again. One catch: she must help Calcifer to be free of Howl, and Calcifer cannot tell her how. However, Sophie agrees to stay and try to find out about the contract through other ways. Still, Howl can see that Sophie is under a spell like Calcifer can, and he falls in love with her for who she is and not for what she looks like. Sophie manages to bring life to the moving castle, and she helps Howl to face his former tutor, Madam Suliman." (Luisa @ imdb.com)
There is no sign up to attend the movie, but we do encourage any teens signed up with the Summer Reading Program to attend! There is limited seating however, so make sure to arrive at least fifteen minutes early. This film is rated PG for frightening images and brief mild language.
