"Free Award-Winning Documentary Showings" at La Salle Library

As part of the "Backyard Wilderness," grant from the Howard Huges Medical Institute, the La Salle Public Library will be offering two free movie showings of the award-winning documentary, Backyard Wilderness.   

Created by award-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmakers, Andrew Young and Susan Todd, Backyard Wildnerness will surprise and entertain viewers with the unexpected delights of nature that are in our own neighbourhoods and communities.  Spanning a seasonal year around a suburban home, the film displays a stunning array of unique wildlife imagery and behaviour-all captured by cameras mounted inside dens and nests, and moving along forest floors and pond bottoms.   The film reveals the animal inhabitants in rare breathtaking detail.   

The full length film will be shown at the Library on Tuesday, June 25th at 6:00 p.m. and on Tuesday, July 2nd at 2:00 p.m.  The film runs approximately 45 minutes and is free and open to the public.   For more information contact the Library at 815-223-2341.
