DECEMBER’S SELECTION: Christmas on the Air: A Live Radio Play

In December the Galesburg Public Library movie club outing will be different – on Tuesday, 12/20, we will go to the Orpheum Theater to see Christmas on the Air: A Live Radio Play.

You will purchase your own ticket. Seating is general admission so we will meet in the lobby at 6:30 pm and sit together. The show starts at 7:00 pm. 

***

The movie group meets in the late afternoon or evening once a month on the third Tuesday to watch a new movie at the AMC (usually). The group sees movies based on books or otherwise connected to literature whenever possible.

A discussion at Culver’s on Henderson Street follows (or, occasionally, precedes) the movie viewing. Movie titles and times are announced about one week in advance, when the theater posts its upcoming schedule.

Send an email to reference@galesburglibrary.org to be added to the Movie Club’s email distribution list. Newcomers are always welcome! If you let library staff know in advance that you are attending for the first time, we’ll keep an eye out for you. Both the movie and the restaurant are pay-your-own-way.

Join us for a nostalgic trip to the movies! We’ll show a favorite family film from decades past each morning, accompanied by a craft. Free and open to all ages.
