The Kingsport Public Library is bringing back its popular Saturday afternoon movie program later this month, with the first two offerings featuring amazing super-heroes and villainous animated animals.
The first Saturday afternoon movie of 2023 will be the latest blockbuster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie will be shown on February 18 at 2 p.m. It is rated PG-13 and has a runtime of 2:41.
Then in March, the library will show an animated movie about a group of friends (including a wolf, a snake, a shark, a piranha and a tarantula) who normally wear the “bad guys” label with pride, until they get a taste of what it feels like to be the “good guys.”
Can these “bad guy” animals change their ways for the good?
Based loosely on the children’s graphic novel series, the movie will be shown on March 18 at 2 p.m. It is rated PG and has a runtime of 1:40.
Both movies are free to the public and will be shown in the first-floor auditorium of the library. For more information about events at the library, please visit www.kingsportlibrary.org or call 423-229-9489.
A calendar has been created called the This is Kingsport events calendar which will serve as a non-public forum to provide citizens with information about social and organizational gatherings held within the city. The city will disseminate information to the public through this online calendar about social and organizational gatherings which are conducted or promoted by community partners with which the city currently has partnership agreements. Additionally, social or organizational gatherings held on city owned property to which the public at large is invited will be published on this calendar.
Each year the city enters into partnership agreements with multiple community partners some of whom in turn support the city by organizing events or promoting events of members and affiliates. By creating a common source for the dissemination of information about community events the city will be furthering its support of those community partners which in turn support the city. Moreover, the city wishes to and will benefit from highlighting gatherings which will be of benefit and enjoyment to the public.
Community partners may communicate their events or those which they promote to the city which will disseminate the information through the event calendar. Furthermore, the city of Kingsport will publish on the calendar those community events which are held on city property. In order to achieve the city’s goals only those events described herein will be published on the This is Kingsport event calendar which will be curated by city staff.
