We’re a "watch first – meet later" club, that gets together once a month to discuss a movie we've watched on our own.
We’re a "watch first – meet later" club, and every month the Keeping It Reel Movie Club meets at the Northwest Akron Branch Library to discuss a movie that everyone has watched on their own using Hoopla or Kanopy (services offered free through the library).
Don’t know how to use Hoopla or Kanopy? No worries, come into the branch and we’ll show you how.
The movie club usually meets on Thursday nights once a month at 6 p.m.

August 15th: Francine (2012) After years of incarceration, a quiet, lonely woman, Francine (Academy Award winner Melissa Leo), is released to start a new life in a small, rural town. But despite opportunities for warmth and connection, her years of "rehabilitation" have left her with little ability to create relationships and happiness, finding her only solace in her connections with animals. What happens when a second chance isn't enough?
Official Selection at the Berlin International Film Festival. Nominated for the Emerging Visions Award at the SXSW Film Festival.
"Melissa Leo ... [gives] a brave performance, an act of empathy with a sad woman." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Leo provides a seasoned, lived-in naturalism that is as rarely displayed on screen as it is potent." - Will McCord, Paste Magazine
