A library staff member will lead a virtual film discussion every other Tuesday on a movie from either Kanopy or Hoopla.

Let's compare and contrast two films based on the same material -- originally written by English dramatist JB Priestley and set in 1912. Following the suicide of a young woman from the local town, an inspector calls unexpectedly to interrogate the wealthy Birling family. As their world unravels, each member of the family is revealed to have unwittingly played a part in her demise.

This classic British crime drama was directed by Guy Hamilton and stars Alastair Sim. | 1hr 20min

and

An Inspector Calls - 2015
