From Page to Screen: Free Outdoor Movies at the Saint Paul Central Library

One of Saint Paul’s most popular outdoor film series starts again this summer at the Central Library. The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library sponsors the page-to-screen themed series, which runs June 20 to July 25. The showings begin on June 20 with a screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1945 thriller Spellbound, starring Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck.

The series continues with a screening of the blockbuster classic Jaws on June 27. The superhero comedy Mystery Men will be screened on June 11. On July 18, visitors will see the 1996 adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, starring Helena Bonham Carter and Sir Ben Kingsley. The series closes July 25 with a screening of The Living Daylights, with Timothy Dalton in his first outing as James Bond.

All showings are free and open to the public. The movies start at dusk on the lawn of the Kellogg Boulevard Courtyard. The films will be cancelled in case of rain. Visit the Friends website or call 651-222-3242 for more information.
