Event Details

Join us for the Barbara Jobin Memorial Studio Ghibli Film Festival! In celebration of the service of a former library employee, we’ll be hosting showings of 24 Studio Ghibli films from March 2025 to March 2026. Each showing will feature a themed snack, raffle, or presentation. The films are for all ages and all are welcome to enjoy! Grab your Ghibli Passport to check off which films you see!

Anna, a shy 12-year-old girl, is sent to spend time with her aunt and uncle who live in the countryside, where she meets Marnie. The two become best friends. But Anna gradually discovers that Marnie is not quite who she appears to be.
