Metuchen Public Library

MONDAY MOVIES! May 4th at 2pm and 6:30pm

We will see Small Things Like These (2024, PG-13, 1h 38m), historical drama film from the 2021 novel by Claire Keegan. It stars Cillian Murphy (who also serves as a producer), Eileen Walsh, Michelle Fairley, and Emily Watson. An international co-production between Ireland and Belgium, its plot focuses on the infamous Magdalene laundries in Ireland. “In 1985 devoted father Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent and uncovers shocking truths of his own.” (IMDb)

No registration is required. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Metuchen Library.

Exciting changes are coming to the Metuchen Public Library Children’s Room! HUGE thanks to the Friends of the Metuchen Library and our amazing community for responding to their “Next Chapter” Fundraiser which helped make this project possible. Your support is bringing these improvements to life!

The Children’s Room will be closed for four weeks. While the space is being updated, a temporary Children’s area has been set up in the Lower Level Activity Room, with limited access to physical materials. Patrons may borrow and request children’s materials from any STELLA member library during the project with their Metuchen library card.
