Page to Screen - Born Free

1:00 PM - 3:03 PM
Born Free
Woodbourne Library
Community Room

In collaboration with the Joyce C. Young Enrichment Center at Washington Township's RecPlex, the Library invites you to read the book, join us for the movie (and snacks), and then we'll discuss both!

Book: Born Free (1960-Non-Fiction/Biography) by Joy Adams, 224 pgs (4.6/5 of 33,171 ratings on Goodreads).

There have been many accounts of the return to the wild of tame animals, but since its original publication in 1960, when The New York Times hailed it as a "fascinating and remarkable book", Born Free has stood alone in its power to move us.

Joy Adamson's story of a lion cub in transition between the captivity in which she is raised and the fearsome wild to which she is returned captures the abilities of both humans and animals to cross the seemingly unbridgeable gap between their radically different worlds. Especially now, at a time when the sanctity of the wild and its inhabitants is increasingly threatened by human development and natural disaster, Adamson's remarkable tale is an idyll, and a model, to return to again and again.

Film: Born Free (1966) Running time about 1 hrs/30 min. MPAA rating: PG 
Staring Virginia McKenna, Bill Travers, and Geoffrey Keen

Copies of this book will be distributed at the November meeting and, thereafter, available for pick up at Woodbourne Library.

Contact Rachael at (937) 610-4435 or Outreach@wclibrary.info to pick up a copy at Centerville. 

Registration is not required and the program is free. Refreshments (water, soda, chips/snacks & candy) will be served.
