Program Description
Event Details
Join us for Winter Watch Wednesdays in January to celebrate our second annual Winter Watch Challenge. Feel free to bring your lunch!
Winter Watch Wednesdays will feature films available on Kanopy. The first film on Jan. 3 will be Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire.
The film takes viewers on a journey with the top experts in the nation to better understand fire. We follow the harrowing escape from Paradise as the town ignited from wind-driven embers and burned within a few hours of the fire’s start. We learn from Native Americans as they employ fire to benefit nature and increase community safety as they have for thousands of years. We follow researchers who work to understand the effects of climate on forests and the crucial role that natural forests play in storing vast amounts of carbon.
To join the Winter Watch Challenge, watch 5 movies between January 1 through January 31 to be entered into a grand prize drawing for a movie popcorn basket. One grand prize is available at each branch library location.
Watch movies on any platform you desire! Check out DVDs at any branch library location, or get access to library digital streaming services via Kanopy and Hoopla with your library card. Find them here: http://bit.ly/3h1poqF.
Track your progress on Beanstack or pick up a paper log at any branch library location, available starting January 2.
Attending Winter Watch Wednesdays will count toward your movie-watching goals!
