Welcome to our Friday Night Film Discussions! We hope you will join us virtually, until we can meet in person again. We’ll be discussing “The Mystery of Henri Pick” — a French film about an editor who discovers a novel that she considers to be a masterpiece, in a library whose particularity is to collect the manuscripts refused by the publishers. Sounds like it’s right up our alley!

The way it works:

PRIOR to the meeting (whenever works for your schedule), watch “The Mystery of Henri Pick” on Kanopy — one of the library’s video streaming service — and then come to the meeting prepared to discuss!

You will need an Ashland library card or a Boston Public Library e-card to use Kanopy. Click here to access Kanopy or for more info on the BPL e-card (see if you are eligible and then register — you can use any of BPL’s online resources with this card!).
