The Heath Senior Center kicks off its Movie Matinee series with a sea-faring tale that is based on the true story behind Herman Melville's classic "Moby Dick."* The movie tells the story of the whaling ship Essex that sailed in 1820 from Nantucket to the Pacific ocean, where it was attacked by a sperm whale and sank, followed by the harrowing tale of the survivors. The movie is rated PG-13. It was in theaters in 2015 and the DVD was released for sale in March 2016.

Call Eileen Tougas (337-8558) for more information about the movie or the event, or see the poster at the Senior Center.

* Licensing regulations forbid the disclosure of the movie title, character names, producer, or studio name in any promotion outside of the Senior Center.

Spring is in the air

It must be spring: the birds are nesting in the apple branch in the children's area of the library!

Stop by and pick up a gardening book, a new novel, or a DVD to relax with after a busy day out in the fresh air.
