Enoch Pratt Free Library

Have you ever heard someone say: “the movie was better than the book?" In most cases, it is entirely the opposite! And, did you know that many of the movies that have come out recently were actually books first? Come to the library to see some of your favorite films in their truest form! The Tale of Despereaux, Inkheart, Nights in Rodanthe, Marley & Me, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (1 and 2!), Twilight, The Secret Life of Bees and even classics like The Wizard of Oz were all great reads before they graced the silver screen! Visit your local library for your chance to read it before you go and see it!!

Open Minds Art Club = Fun

Creating and maintaining a strong connection to our neighborhood youth is one of the library’s most important responsibilities. The library wants its young patrons to feel safe within its walls and to be able to expand their minds and have fun! The Enoch Pratt Free Library and the Creative Alliance have partnered to offer a program called Open Minds. The Open Minds program provides a chance for children and young adults (8-17) to create art in response to books. It is also an excellent opportunity for young people to make friends! Join the fun at the Patterson Park Branch on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6 p.m. To learn more about the Creative Alliance, visit their website.
