Young Adults in the 5th through 12th grade are invited to enjoy a movie at the Malden Public Library on THURSDAY Sept. 19th from 3:00-5:00 PM in the Maccario Rooms. Light refreshments and drinks will be available while they last to enjoy during the film.

This month’s film is a re-imagined Live-Action Disney classic based on the original highly lauded 1992 animated film. Join Aladdin, inspired by tales from “1001 Arabian Nights”, as he gains a magic lamp that has a genie inside it played by Will Smith. This movie is rated PG, and as such is generally suited for all audiences.

Join us at the Malden Public Library on Tuesday, September 24 from 7–8 pm for a talk with Joseph Bebo, author of Alex A Lesson in Courage.  This is a true story about a Malden boy with special needs named Alex, as told by his parents, his teachers, coaches, friends, neighbors, a high school principal, and the mayor of a city. It demonstrates how inclusion can change not only the life of someone with special needs, but the lives of everyone involved. It’s a story about courage, acceptance, and overcoming adversity. Alex’s story is a story of hope, of how love turned a seeming tragedy into a wondrous joy.

This event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase.
