Upcoming Event- Sunday Afternoon Movie at Perrot: Jane Eyre

Sunday Afternoon Movie at Perrot

JANE EYRE (2011)

Rated PG-13, 120 minutes

Sunday, January 29th, 2017

2 PM 

Cozy up on a winter Sunday afternoon at the library and enjoy a movie in celebration of Charlotte Bronte's 200th birthday! English tea and refreshments will be served.

Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender star in the romantic drama based on the classic novel, from acclaimed director Cary Fukunaga. As governess Jane Eyre flees Thornfield House-- where she works for wealthy Edward Rochester-- she reflects upon the people and emotions that have defined her. It is clear that the isolated and imposing residence (and Mr. Rochester's coldness) have sorely tested the young woman's resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her-- and the terrible secret that Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered.

Upcoming Event: Learning to Look: Family Art Program on Portraiture

Learning to Look: Family Art Program on Portraiture

Saturday, January 28th, 2017 at 2 PM 

Perrot's Children's Wing

Perrot Library is pleased to welcome back Alice Scovell Coleman, a lecturer with the Learning to Look program, for another afternoon of art. This program will focus on portraiture, particularly the art of John Singer Sargent. After the presentation, children will have the opportunity to create their own portrait on paper. This program is recommended for families with children ages 5 and up (but adults, too, are welcome). This event is a wonderful introduction or follow-up to the exhibit, John Singer Sargent's Mrs. Carl Meyer and Her Children at the Jewish Museum in New York City.

Learning to Look, an art history and appreciation program for students from kindergarten through high school, was created by Greenwich residents Diane Darst and Sue Ann Williamson. It has been taught by Learning to Look-trained teachers to over 75,000 students at nearly 100 schools in the tri-state area alone.
