On Wednesday, March 30th, 2022, the Malden Public Library held its first in-person family movie night since the start of COVID-19, presenting the movie Encanto. The time of the screening was from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Encanto is about a family who lives in a village hidden in the mountains, a magical place that gifted the children of the family with extraordinary gifts. Everyone in the family except Mirabel receives a gift, and throughout the movie, the young girl finds herself and learns about her family in the search for what makes her special like her family members.
The family movie night was for anyone interested in joining the community in this screening and it was free to watch. The movie is child friendly and rated PG.
Now that the Malden Public Library is starting up family movie nights, there can be more to expect in the future.
“This event took a lot of time to get planned because of COVID-19 and we did not want anyone getting sick so we delayed family movie night for a while until everything died down a little bit,” stated Jodie Zalk, co-founder of Malden Reads.
