About the event

“God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.” - Dr Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park, 1993)

Join us as we celebrate our dino-themed summer reading season with a screening of one of the greatest blockbusters of all time, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. Come hang out in the children's programming room for a great movie and some dino toy play-time. We will have plenty of toys of all shapes and sizes!

Rated PG-13 for sequences of terror and mild language
