Media Madness

Broadway Comes to the Library!

Technically, Broadway has been at the Henrietta Public Library for decades in our many videos, compact discs, and DVDs!  But as many of you know, March is traditionally “the big community party” month at HPL.  This year our theme is “Broadway” and you are all cordially invited to the finale to a month of festivities on Sunday, March 28, 2010. There will be face-painting for the little ones, the “Pop Show Band”, dancing and costume contests and food!!

In honor of our Broadway party I thought I would offer a little game of sorts to highlight some of the many musicals and movies the library has to offer in our audio-visual section. Fill in the blanks and test your knowledge of famous and not so famous lines and lyrics from Broadway’s best. Have fun!
