fake identities. Because of their political activities they are being tracked down relentlessly,
and the threat of capture is constant. This film tells the story of militancy,
undercover life, and love; 110 minutes. Free program, free popcorn. Registration
required; register at www.mahopaclibrary.org, or call 845-628-2009, ext 100.
The Summer Reading Club and Teen Reading Challenge
Friday, June 21 at 2 p.m.
Join us for this quick-moving, fun-filled program that unearths the joys of reading
and summertime. Audiences of all ages “dig” how Robert brings his favorite “underground”
stories to life before their eyes: from a pirate digging for gold, to a paleontologist
excavating fossils (that just might tell dinosaur tales), to a child building an
elaborate sand castle at the beach! Robert celebrates what he loves about mime and
reading while encouraging audience members to become “deeper” readers. This fun,
interactive program allows everyone to learn mime, play, and have fun. For info or to
register, visit www.mahopaclibrary.org, or call 845-628-2009, ext 100.
