A Series of Unfortunate Events
FRIENDS of the Plano Public Library and The Studio Movie Grill in Plano have collaborated efforts to host a new Friends member event on Saturday, December 18, 2004. The first film in the Lemony Snicket: A Series of Unfortunate Events series based upon the first three of best-selling Lemony Snicket books will be shown exclusively to Friends members beginning at 11 A.M.. Studio Movie Grill is located at 4721 W. Park Boulevard in Plano.
New members who join the Friends organization are entitled to one free pass and may purchase up to four additional passes per household for only $4.00 each. The movie passes are on sale to Friends members at each of the four open Plano Public Library System (PPLS) library locations. Individuals may also sign up for a Friends membership at any PPLS library.
Renewing or existing Friends members may also purchase up to five passes per household at the same cost of $4.00 per pass. Passes will be limited to 250 passes; the showing will be for Friends members only and is not open to the public. No passes will be sold at the door.
Friends of the Plano Public Library is a non-profit, educational group of citizens dedicated to supporting Plano libraries. Annual memberships range from $10.00 to $500.00. All members receive the monthly calendar and quarterly newsletter by mail plus advance notices about library events and programs. Different levels of memberships include different benefits. For example, "Special Edition" members, individuals joining at the $25 level, receive an exclusive invitation to the Friends Annual Book Sale preview party. Other benefits can include canvas book bags, exclusive invites to author events, and name recognition through special book name plates.
