FILM THE BOOK! September 11, 7:00 pm FREE!

The tale of an ordinary 11-year-old boy who learns he is a wizard. He soon finds that the wizarding world is far more dangerous than he imagined. This is the first title in the "Harry Potter" series of novels by J.K. Rowling, and another film based on a book in our series exploring The Hero's Journey as shown to us by myth expert Joseph Campbell in his landmark book, "The Hero with A Thousand Faces".

Consider Harry Potter, and then consider clicking the link or picture above and speaking your mind on the subject of the Hero's Journey, and what that might mean on our blog at salinasstories.wordpress.com.

The event is FREE! And it's happening after hours at The Library! In the Lounge! Bring a date!

To be exact it's screening at 7PM at:

John Steinbeck Library
350 Lincoln Ave.
