Friday Night Film Series

The Friends of the Thomaston Library Presents:


To Kill a Mockingbird
Friday, February 6th
6:30 P.M. in room 208 (second floor)
Thomaston Academy Building

The movie is set in a small Alabama town during the Depression.  This adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel follows Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck), a lawyer who defends an innocent black man (Brock Peters) against rape charges, but winds up in a fury of hate and prejudice.  Finch's children, Jem and Scout (Phillip Alford and Mary Badhman) soon learn lessons about race, justice, and the pain of growing up.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the 211 Bookshop will be open before the film showing.  All Friday night films are free admission and open to the public.  Call the library at 354-2453.  Refreshments will be served and donations are gratefully accepted.
