Fendrick Library: Books to Movie Debut: News of the World

Fendrick Library
January 15, 2021

The Fendrick Library in Mercersburg has the solution to the gray days of winter by connecting the community
with the NEW Community Connect @ the Fendrick Library: Books to Movies!

From staying home and limited contact with co-workers, friends, and family, many of you are starting to feel isolated or running out of things to talk about it. The Community Connect -Books to Movies appeals to everyone and offers a new topic for discussion. It is also an opportunity to initiate a conversation when out, on the phone, to plan a virtual ?movie night? or book discussion. Maybe you know someone who would enjoy you reading a few chapters each day to them virtually or by phone. Be Creative!
