LAKEPORT >> Lakeport Library will show three family-friendly movies in March. The free program is open to all ages, but children must be accompanied by an adult.
Lakeport Library will have two showings of “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” for children this month, one on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and a second showing on March 18 at 5 p.m.
Based on a classic children’s book by Judith Viorst, the movie follows a boy named Alexander as he struggles with a day of turmoil and finds consolation when he learns that everyone has bad days.
The library will also present two afternoon movies for older audiences in a Book to Film series. On March 12 at 2 p.m. the featured movie is based on a classic Gothic novel by Daphne DuMaurier and stars Laurence Olivier as Maxim DeWinter and Joan Fontaine as his shy young second wife who must compete with the memories of Maxim’s first wife Rebecca.
The movie to be shown on March 26 at 2 p.m. is based on a book by Jessamyn West about the Birdwell family living in Indiana in 1862 when tensions ran high along the border between the Union and the Confederacy. The heart-warming story stars Gary Cooper and Dorothy McGuire as Jess and Eliza Birdwell whose Quaker beliefs are tested by events in their neighborhood.
