Join us on Tuesday, May 5 when we welcome two internationally acclaimed novelists.
**UPDATE** Now you can also pick up a free pass to attend the Cleveland advance screening of Far from the Madding Crowd, starring Carey Mulligan and Michael Sheen. Based on the 1874 classic novel by Thomas Hardy, it is the love story of a beautiful and spirited young woman who finds herself torn between three very different men. The screening is taking place on Wednesday, May 13 at 7:00pm at Cinemark Valley View.
