Visit the Library after hours for a Reel Club showing of "What's the Story, Wishbone?" The '90s PBS series "Wishbone" starred a dog who imagined himself as the main character in literary classics from "Frankenstein" to "Odysseus". Our movie going patrons will get a behind-the-scenes journey into the creation and lasting legacy of Wishbone, that introduced a generation to classic literature through the adventures of a loveable Jack Russell Terrier with a big imagination.
