Held on the day The Toronto Blue Jays were playing for a World Series spot may have hampered the turnout for our second Home Movie Day. Nevertheless we were able to give our undivided attention to our guest who brought films. We screened all of Ron’s films and had a pleasant discussion on the history of his films and what he could do to preserve them.
On a positive note the Library is now interested in hosting other film related events monthly or bi-monthly. I will be meeting with them soon to discuss details. Stay tuned.
