The Great Match

The Riverton library will be showing The Great Match as March's Indie Film

Friday March 16th at 7:00p.m.

This film tells the adventurous story of three heroes, none of whom have ever met, but who nevertheless have two things in common: firstly, they all live in the farthest-flung corners of the planet and, secondly, they are all three determined to see on TV the final in Japan of the 2002 World Cup between Germany and Brazil. The protagonists in this 'global' comedy are: a family of Mongolian nomads, a camel caravan of Tuareg in the Sahara, and a group of Indios in the Amazon. They all live about 500 kilometres away from the next town – and the next television – making their task a particularly daunting one. Nevertheless, these inventive people possess the resourcefulness and the willpower to achieve their goal.

February Activities

Valentine Bingo was a great success. We had about 5 families show up and they all left with bags full of prizes.

Our Valentine's Day party was great with about 70 in attendance. We made heart puzzles and decorated sugar cookies. Our children's area was beautifully decorated by two of our hard working teens Timber and Macey. It looked wonderful and the parents appreciated the hard work.

We have a total of 200 children signed up for the Winter Reading Program. Many are finished with the first two coupons and are working on the third. Great job kids. Our grand finale for the program will take place on Saturday March 3rd, "Lunch and a Movie".

Clifford will be showing up soon to start visiting the first grade classes of our Fremont County Schools in preparation for, "Wyoming Reads" coming this May.

A simple curve

The Riverton Branch Library will be showing A Simple Curve for February's Indie Film.

Friday February 16 at 7:00 p.m.

Kris Lemche gives a stellar performance (Canadian Press) as Caleb, a charming small-town entrepreneur determined to keep his woodworking shop afloat in spite of the relentless idealism of his business partner and father, aging hippie draft-dodger Jim (Michael Hogan, Battlestar Galactica). When wealthy American Matthew (Matt Craven, Crimson Tide) arrives, Caleb sees a chance to turn his fortunes around provided he can keep Jim distracted long enough. Juggling mounting debts, freeloading hippie houseguests, and a budding love life, Caleb strikes a secret deal with Matthew that could set him up for good if it doesn't destroy his entire way of life.
