Monday Night Movies |
|
 If you look at the list of highest grossing Christmas-themed films of all time, one title stands well above the rest: the 2018 version of The Grinch.And the library will celebrate the holidays by showing The Grinch at our Monday Night Movie at 5 p.m., Dec. 8. This version of Dr. Seuss' beloved tale features Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of the Grinch. The movie grossed nearly $540 million worldwide, about $60 million more than the second-place movie on the list, Home Alone. The free family-oriented movie showings also include free pizza and popcorn — and for this special one, hot chocolate. So, please join us for the re-telling of the classic tale about a grumpy old creature living in a cave on Mt. Crumpet who can't stand to see his neighbors in Whoville enjoying themselves. For more information, visit the library or call 937.783.3585. |
