Temple Grandin film screening

On April 21, the Winchester Public Library will be showing the movie "Temple Grandin."  This screening, held at 6:30 p.m. in the Large Meeting Room at the WPL, is free and open to the public.  The film is a semi-autobiographical work based on the life of autistic rights advocate Temple Grandin.  Collage artist and Winchester resident John Williams, an adult living with autism, will introduce the film; his collage pieces will also be on display in the library.
