Nov.1 - Coco
Celebrate Dia de Muertos by watching Coco, a fun film about an aspiring young musician who is accidentally transported to the vibrant Land of the Dead on Día de Muertos, where he must seek out his legendary great-great-grandfather to return home and reconcile his family's ban on music.
Nov. 21 - NOIRvember: Dick Tracy
Get into the mood for NOIRvember by watching this film based on the classic comic strip. The 1990 film follows detective Dick Tracy (Warren Beatty) as he fights to take down the unified mob, led by the grotesque gangster Big Boy Caprice (Al Pacino). It is acclaimed for its highly stylized visuals that perfectly mimic the comic's bold colors and two-dimensional look.
Nov. 22 - Free Birds
Get into the mood for Thanksgiving with this animated comedy about two turkeys, a modern-day pampered bird named Reggie and a fanatical turkey named Jake. Using a secret government time machine to travel back to the year 1621 to the first Thanksgiving, they try to get turkeys off the holiday menu for good by changing the course of history.

The Commonplace Society is a creative journaling club for ages 13 and older. Together we’ll build a “book of everything”—a mix of writing, collage, quotes, spiritual wisdom, lists, and more—while learning about the history of commonplacing (zibaldone) and the benefits of journaling, from reducing anxiety to preserving memories. We meet twice a month to practice techniques, keep up the journaling habit, and explore with plenty of creative supplies (stickers, washi tape, stamps, and more). Registration is required once for the series. Space is limited, and the program is only for ages 13+.
