Children went to the Austintown library on Nov.7 for a movie night in the large meeting room.

Librarian Allison Graf organized the event. The meeting room has a projector for events like these. Graf set up the movie on the projector and moved the tables and chairs to face the screen.

The group of children at the event watched Disneynature’s “Born in China.“ Disneynature, a branch of Walt Disney Studios, focuses on nature films, such as “Earth.“ “Born in China“ follows three groups of animals during their life in China. The movie shows the lives of pandas, snow leopards and golden monkeys. John Krasinski narrates the film.

Families watched the nature movie and brought snacks and drinks. The library promotes families bringing popcorn and a drink for these events. Some children had popcorn while others brought candy.

The library hosts a movie night once every month. All films they watch have a “G“ or “PG“ rating and have recently been released. For example, “Born in China“ came out Apr. 21, 2017.
