Friday Matinee: 1776 (1972)

Spend your Friday afternoons relaxing at the library with friends and a good movie.

We'll be screening 1776 (1972); G; 141 minutes:

An adaptation of the Broadway Tony-winning musical!

With the Boston Harbor still stained from over-taxed British tea, a revolution is brewing in the colonies. And now England has thousands of troops headed for America's shores to squelch her subjects' freedom-loving spirit! It's up to John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson to convince a stubborn congress of British colonists to unite as American patriots turn the inevitable war with England into a Declaration of Independence!
