Program Description
Event Details
Celebrate Banned Books Week with us! A Wrinkle in Time has been banned or challenged from certain libraries and schools in the U.S. The book's challenges stem from a combination of religious and philosophical objections. Some groups have argued that it promotes occult practices and undermines Christian beliefs, while others have criticized it for being insufficiently religious.
Popcorn will be served with the movie. All attendees will be entered into a raffle for a copy of the book!
Movie description: Meg Murry and her little brother, Charles Wallace, have been without their scientist father, Mr. Murry, for five years, ever since he discovered a new planet and used the concept known as a tesseract to travel there. Joined by Meg's classmate Calvin O'Keefe and guided by the three mysterious astral travelers known as Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which, the children brave a dangerous journey to a planet that possesses all of the evil in the universe.
