Join us for a screening of the 2025 drama film “Sentimental Value.” A masterful study of thorny family dynamics, Joachim Trier’s film finds a long-estranged film director returning to Oslo to reclaim his family home and, he hopes, reconcile with his adult daughters. In Norwegian with English subtitles. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Walk-ins welcome.

Japan is the only country among over 60 explored that left world traveler Brian Michalski heartbroken to leave. In retracing this glorious five-week adventure, we journey aboard the famous Shinkansen bullet train, following the blooming cherry blossoms. Michalski blends interactions with locals and striking original photography to transport you to the Land of the Rising Sun.

Join us for an event with Dr. Kerry Burnight, gerontologist and author of “Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half,” as she discusses longevity. Joyspan is a practice that anyone—at any age—can adopt to create a more fulfilling life. Presented in partnership with Highland Park Public Library and Vernon Area Public Library. Registration required.
