Banned Books Week: Showing of Farenheit 451

To highlight the American Library Association's "Banned Books Week," Dublin Library will be showing the 1966 film "Fahrenheit 451" in the library Program Room.

This film was based on Ray Bradbury's short science fiction novel originally published in 1951, about a society where the controlling elite distracts the masses through mindless televised entertainment  and burns books lest the public develop the ability to think critically. Directed by Francois Truffaut, this film stars Oskar Werner and Julie Christie.
