Reel Reads Book Group (O'Connell)
Introducing the Reel Reads Book Group!
Each month we read a book selection with a movie adaptation and discuss the relationship between the two and the merits and/or drawbacks of each.
September selection: Forrest Gump by Winston Groom & the 1994 film Forrest Gump (dir. Robert Zemekis)
How to get the print book and DVD: Copies of the book and DVD are set aside at the O'Connell Branch. Click here for O'Connell Branch Hours
This month’s book and movie may also be available digitally through Libby, Hoopla or Kanopy.
This book group meets every other month, in person at the O'Connell Branch. Registration is helpful!
