Wabasha Public Library

“Green Book” will be shown on the big screen in the chilren’s room on Sunday, April 14th at 1:30 p.m.  The movie is rated PG13.  Movie synopsis:  When Tony Lip (Mortensen), a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on “The Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger-as well as unexpected humanity and humor-they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime. The movie is free.  Thank you to River Junction Arts Council for funding the public performance site license.

Due to the weather forecasted, Lucie’s presentation has been CANCELLED.  We will try to reschedule for a later date.
