Add to Calendar

Join us to watch, read, and discuss book adaptations across all genres!

Is the book always better than the movie? Does the movie add something missing from the book? Is TV the best medium for a book adaptation? All these questions and more will be explored as we watch, read, and discuss our favorite stories that made their way from the page to the screen!

Our September meeting will focus on the 2026 film Project Hail Mary, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and based on the novel Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. A special thanks to the Friends of the Library for their support, which makes programs in the Friends Theatre possible.

If there is a disability accommodation that would enable you to participate more fully in this program, please let us know with as much notice as possible by calling the information desk at (732) 329-4000 ext. 7286, and we will do our best to help you.
