The Public is a heart-warming film about the lengths a public library director will go to fight for the safety of his library patrons. Timely and funny- a perfect film to watch on our birthday!

Watch this funny and heart-warming movie in celebration of our birthday! Treats served!

Full film synopsis:

After learning that emergency shelters are at full capacity when a brutal Midwestern cold front makes its way to Cincinnati, a large group of library patrons experiencing homelessness refuse to leave the downtown public library at closing time. What begins as a nonviolent Occupy-style sit-in and ragtag act of civil disobedience quickly escalates into a standoff with local riot police, led by a no-nonsense crisis negotiator (Alec Baldwin) and a savvy district attorney (Christian Slater) with lofty political ambitions, all as two librarians (Emilio Estevez and Jena Malone) are caught in the middle.

Rated PG-13.
