On fourth Thursdays in 2010, Collingswood Public will host a series of free movies and videos, each one featuring a presentation by someone connected to the piece being shown and will host a similar series for writers on second Thursdays: authors presenting their work and answering questions. All presentations will be free, and all are connected to Collingswood or its surrounding community in the state of New Jersey or the Delaware Valley. For more information on all these events and more go to www.collingswoodlib.org
