SUMMARY:WesFest Part 3: Love
DESCRIPTION:Do you love Wes Anderson movies? How about themed crafts? Whether you’re a fan of one or both\, we invite you to come to the Enka-Candler Library today for a crafting and movie-watching experience! WesFest Part 3 features the coming of age comedy-drama Moonrise Kingdom. Twelve-year-olds Sam and Suzy meet during a church performance of Noye’s Fludde (Noah’s Flood). Both of the kids\, who are introverted and behavioral\, find comfort in the letters they exchange with each other. Young love blossoms and the couple runs away together without telling anyone. After an altercation with the Khaki Scouts that Sam was staying with\, the children make their way to an island they call Moonrise Kingdom and set up camp. Their romantic tension builds as they dance on the beach and eventually share their first kiss. Will the loving couple be allowed to continue their relationship or will the powers that be separate them forever? Find out and come write a letter to someone you love with us! The craft is optional\, but all materials will be provided.

SUMMARY:Movie Matinee: White Bird
DESCRIPTION:If you love free movies\, then come to the Hendersonville Main Branch Library today for a free screening of White Bird! The sequel to the movie titled Wonder\, White Bird follows the story of Julian\, a young boy who is trying to fit in at his new school. His passive approach triggers his grandmother\, Sara\, to tell him about growing up as a Jewish girl in Nazi-occupied France. She recounts how she spent more than a year living in a classmate’s barn\, unable to leave the building for fear of attracting the Gestapo or Milice informers\, and the peril her host family undertook for her. Her classmate\, Julien\, takes it upon himself to teach her his school lessons and as the story progresses\, young love blooms. Will the two stay together? How will they navigate such a repressive environment? And why did Julien not come back from school today? \nClosed captions turned on when available.
