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.

November 14th (2nd Thursday this month) Transpecos (2016): Depicting corruption as unavoidable as the desert heat, TRANSPECOS is a tense thriller that puts the audience in the shoes of three border patrol agents who man a checkpoint on a remote highway. Rookie Davis (Johnny Simmons) and seasoned Flores (Gabriel Luna) work with the callous, world-weary Hobbs (Clifton Collins Jr) to round out the trio.
On what feels like another routine stop, the contents of one car will throw their lives out of control. As dark secrets are revealed, each passing hour will bring them closer to a nightmarish conclusion that could cost them their lives, in a world where the line between right and wrong shifts like the desert itself.
