Explore the books, Experience the films!
BOOK TO FILM: VOLUME I pairs two creative, popular genres and invites you to dissect & discuss! Explore THREE unforgettable novels at our “Book To Film Book Club” discussions, then experience their cinematic adaptations at film screenings in downtown Lowell. All events take place in person and are free and open to the public! Please note that some books and films include adult content and may deal with mature subject matter.
BOOK TO FILM: VOLUME I is supported in part by a grant from the Lowell Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
