Southwest Branch

Meeting Room A

Join us for our quarterly Movies vs. Books Club! Popcorn and candy will be provided during the movie. Age 18 and up.

Read Wicked by Gregory Maguire, then join us to watch the movie. Afterwards, we'll tackle one question: which was better—the book or the movie?

Summary:
"This is the book that started it all! The basis for the smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Gregory Maguire's breathtaking New York Times bestseller Wicked views the land of Oz, its inhabitants, its Wizard, and the Emerald City, through a darker and greener (not rosier) lens. Brilliantly inventive, Wicked offers us a radical new evaluation of one of the most feared and hated characters in all of literature: the much maligned Wicked Witch of the West who, as Maguire tells us, wasn't nearly as Wicked as we imagined."
