Now that everyone has recovered from the holidays, Glenwood groups are getting back into the swing of things.

Glenwood Community Library is hosting Movie Night on Friday Feb. 14. The film is “Ford v Ferrari” which has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture. It is based on the true story of a team of American engineers and designers, led by gifted automotive designer Carroll Shelby and his British driver, Ken Miles. Henry Ford II and Lee Iacocca have tasked them with building the Ford GT40, a new racing car in the hope of defeating the Ferrari racing team at the 1966 Le Mans race in France. It stars Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as Miles.

Free popcorn and soft drinks are provided.  Donations are always appreciated. Showtime is 7 p.m. Friday February 14 at the library, 14 Menges Lane, Glenwood, New Mexico 88039.

Library Computer help

Rachel Flanagan will be available to help patrons with basic computer skills on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. – noon.
