Enjoy a cup of tea and a film adaptation of a Jane Austen novel on Wednesday afternoons this summer when the library presents Afternoons with Austen.

Those who attend three or more screenings will be entered in a drawing to win a prize pack of copies of all of the films shown in the series.

Directed by Douglas McGrath, the 1996 adaptation of “Emma” describes a year in the life of Emma Woodhouse, a congenial but naïve young woman who thinks of herself as a romantic matchmaker in her small community in early-19th-century England. Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collette, Alan Cumming and Ewan McGregor star. PG. 2 hours Upcoming
