Our book for April, which can be picked up at the South Branch Library, Breckenridge, starting March 19, is “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.” After viewing the film adaptation, we will discuss the book, the movie, and why it is on the banned book list.

Learn about the Eclipse Theatre. 
Location: 103 South Harris Street - The theatre is located on the North side of the Breckenridge Grand Vacations Community Center library building on the corner of Lincoln and Harris Ave. 

Can I attend the movie if I am not in the club?
No, the Book to Movie Club films will NOT be open to the general public. Only members of the club who have checked out and, hopefully, read the book may enter, with their ticket. The Club is a special partnership with the Eclipse Movie Theater. They are providing the club the use of the theater for free as they have a license to show the movies, which are on DVD, but they are not allowed to sell tickets. The theater will be selling concessions to book club attendees, though.
