Hoot” will be the movie at 1:00 p.m. today. From the best-selling children’s novel by Carl Hiaasen comes this larger-than-life story of three kids who answer the call of the wild by protecting a family of endangered miniature owls. But when a housing development threatens the fragile species, the threesome must learn to think big, break some rules and take a stand. “Extraordinary Measures” will be the movie next week. If anyone has a request for a movie, please let us know or tell Kristi at the Senior Center. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served.

Story Time is Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. Kids of all ages and abilities are welcome to attend. There will be no LEGO Club during the month of March.

“Spectre” and “Passengers” are two new movies ready for checkout this week. “Small Great Things” by Jodi Picoult is now available on CD. In Clarity, North Carolina, the residents have fallen victim to an unfortunate series of events. Seemingly random accidents have taken the lives of several citizens in the small mountain town. But these deadly coincidences are anything but. Something is on the hunt in Clarity, and the only clue as to what is a cryptic note given to the victims 24 hours before they meet their ends: “Wait for dark.” An SCU team investigates the string of accidents, only to uncover a deadly and deliberate monster in “Wait for Dark,” the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper. From New York Times bestselling authors Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison comes the highly anticipated thriller in their Brit in the FBI series, “The Devil’s Triangle,” featuring special agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine in their new roles as heads of the Covert Eyes team—but will their first case be their last when the enigmatic and dangerous thief known as the Fox reappears? “The Lioness is the Hunter” by Loren Estleman is a new Amos Walker mystery. “The Bear and the Nightingale” by Katherine Arden is a wonderfully layered novel of family and the harsh wonders of deep winter magic. In “A Book of American Martyrs,” Joyce Carol Oates tells the story of two very different and yet intimately linked families. Luther Dunphy is an ardent Evangelical who envisions himself as acting out God’s will when he assassinates an abortion provider in his small Ohio town while Augustus Voorhees, the idealistic but self-regarding doctor who is killed, leaves behind a wife and children scarred and embittered by grief. Oates fully inhabits the perspectives of two interwoven families whose destinies are defined by their warring convictions and squarely-but with great empathy-confronts an intractable, abiding rift in American society.
