April Topic: Golden Age of Hollywood

April Meeting Date: Wednesday, April 3, 2024 from 7:00 to 8:45 PM – Milano Center (201 W Foster St) – In-person Meeting

Please register online for the April meeting!

The topic for April is Golden Age of Hollywood.  Lights!  Camera!  Action!!  From the early silent films relying heavily on the narrative, through the transition to sound with the groundbreaking 1927 film The Jazz Singer, to the massive powerful and competitive studios that broke the bank (and arguably some of their employees) with epic-scale productions, Hollywood was born. There are many facets to this topic so have fun and pick what interests you but keep it within the time frame of the 1910’s to the 1960’s.  Feel free to focus on a director, an actor, a studio or even a genre of the classic film era.  If you need guidance in finding a book, check out this selection of titles which are just a sampling of what is available through the NOBLE library system.

Everyone is welcome, whether you read a book and want to share or just want to listen and learn!

During the library’s renovation project, the Milano Center has generously offered us a room for our meeting.  Please check in at the front desk when you arrive; doors will close and be locked by 7:30 PM.

Please be sure to register online for the April meeting using the Library Event Calendar so the library can accommodate all those planning to attend.

If you have questions, please contact Erin at melcirc@noblenet.org or call the library at 781-665-2313.
