Film Screening: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

A free screening of Steven Spielberg's 1982 classic plays at the Mayfair branch on Wednesday, September 2, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. The story follows a lonely boy who helps a stranded alien evade government scientists, and the film still holds up beautifully thanks to its Oscar-winning score and practical effects. English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing are available. This is part of the library system's Community Cinema series, with scores of similar screenings across Chicago.
