October is just around the corner and the Stettler Public Library has so much to offer. Do you have a library card? Come and get your free library card. You don’t need a library card to attend these free programs.
Our next Film Circuit movie at the Jewel Theatre is Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. when we travel to Iran for the movie “Ava.” Ava’s life is dictated by rules. Coming of age in Iran, she faces pressure to conform to the expectations of her parents, her school and her friends. When she learns that her parents were once flagrant rule breakers themselves, she begins to rebel against the very foundations of her society.
