Films at Frankford

Films at Frankford is back at the Frankford Library on Tuesday, October 27, at 3:30 PM. It's a family-friendly film screening, part of a series that runs on the last Tuesday of every month at the same time. If you've missed the previous ones, this is a good way to get in on it.

The screenings are open to all ages, so it works as a low-key afternoon for anyone from toddlers to adults. The only rule is that children eight and under need to be accompanied by an adult caregiver. They provide snacks and water, which is a nice touch for a mid-afternoon session—you don't have to worry about packing a bag of treats for the kids. You just show up and settle in.

It's worth keeping in mind where this fits into the bigger picture. The Frankford Library is one of the neighborhood branches of the Free Library of Philadelphia, and this screening is part of a much larger commitment to public programming. The Free Library puts on more than 28,000 programs for all ages every year across its branches, so this is one of many things happening around the city. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for something easy to do with the family, this is a reliable option.

To find it, head to the Frankford Library at 4634 Frankford Avenue, at the corner of Frankford Avenue and Overington Street in Philadelphia. The screening starts at 3:30 PM on Tuesday, October 27, and since it's a recurring series, you'll find it there on the last Tuesday of every month.
