Once in a Lifetime Chance to Read the Book Before Watching the Movie Filmed in Your Town

If you ever wanted to read the book before watching the movie, there's no better time than now.

How exciting is it that a major motion picture is being filmed in your town? Some may care less for the hype and others may have concerns with Mass and New Hampshire foreigners flooding their town with fandemonium - but I would bet the majority of Actonians are very excited the Indian Paintbrush Production film crew for "Labor Day," directed by Jason Reitman and staring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, picked their town out of the many territories Massachusetts has to offer. The movie is based on the 2009 book "Labor Day," by American author Joyce Maynard.

So, it's a once and a lifetime chance to read the book first before the movie being filmed in your town is released.

Maynard writes a love story that takes place in New Hampshire that has interesting drama plots. Spoiler alert, read Wikipedia's plot summary. Acton's will reserve your copy (shipment of the paper back due next week).
