On Monday, July 23, 2012, the documentary, “Los Que Se Quedan” (Those Who Remain) will be shown.

Parents are strongly advised that this is a PG-13 documentary and is not suitable for small children.

On Wednesday, July 25, 2012, the library will feature “The Help,” an inspirational, courageous and empowering story about very different and extraordinary women who lived in the South during the 1960’s. They build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project, one that breaks society’s rules and puts them all at risk. “The Help” is a timeless, universal and triumphant story about the ability to create change. Parents are strongly advised that this is a PG-13 documentary and not suitable for small children.

On Saturday, July 28, 2012, “Bedtime Stories,” a magical comedy suited for the whole family will be shown. The life of a hotel handyman is changed forever when the bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew start to mysteriously come true. He attempts to take advantage of the phenomenon, by incorporating his own aspirations into one outlandish tale after another, but it’s the kids’ unexpected contributions that turn his life upside down.

All showings will take place at the Santa Ana Public Library in meeting room “A,” located on the second floor of the library. “Los Que Se Quedan” and “The Help” will begin at 6:30 p.m. “Bedtime Stories” will begin at 3:30 p.m. Please be on time as seats are limited.
