In honor of the bicentennial of Charles Dickens’ birthday on Feb. 7, the library will hold three movie screenings to celebrate his iconic career and beloved classic works. Dickens' highly visual narrative style inspired early filmmakers as well as modern-day adaptations. Over 125 years after his death, Dickens' works are still being screened for film and TV and every one of his 15 novels has been filmed at least twice.
