Announcements

Eternal Sunshine: This week's film offering is French director Michel Gondry's American drama Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It will be shown at 2pm this Friday, April 17 in the Community Room and counts toward ABE hours. Snacks will be provided.
The 2004 film uses science fiction and neosurrealism to explore the nature of memory and love. It stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet and features Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson, Eiljah Wood, Jane Adams, and David Cross.
