Program Description

Event Details

In the U.S., copyright on movies, books, and other works expires 95 years after release, meaning movies from 1930 can be freely used, shared, and remixed starting in 2026. So we're screening some of the best movies from that year.

Today we'll watch The Big Trail. John Wayne plays a frontiersman leading a wagon train westward, facing hardship and betrayal along the way. 2h. 5m.

Additional Information

In-person and phone registration starts November 3rd for Norridge and Harwood Heights residents with valid library cards. Online registration for everyone opens November 10th.
