The Social Network


This month's GlenVIEWINGS film screening of Academy Award nominee The Social Netowork celebrates National Library Week (April 10th - 16th) and its theme 'Create Your Own Story @ the Library'. The Social Network is based on the bestselling book Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook by Ben Mezrich. It's the story of Mark Zuckerberg, and his, um, friends and how they created Facebook and Facebook's subsequent staggering success. Not only is it a compelling story in its own right but Facebook is an increasingly critical communuction tool, an excellent place to create content and a great place to, you guessed it, share stories. Just like here at the library, right? Perfect. It all comes together next Friday, April 15th with screenings at 2:00 and 6:30. See you then!
