Welcome to the HBMLibrary Family Summer Reading Program! 

Celebrate the bicentennial of "Frankenstein" on Friday, June 26th.

Show time: 10:30 AM

The show will be at the Hurt/Battelle Memorial Library.

Born of a nightmare fueled by an evening of ghost stories, stormy weather & flickering candlelight, Frankenstein has provided 200 years of both mental & visual horrors.  

It is considered to be the first science fiction novel.  It was one of the first horror movies ever made.  And, it was written by a teenage girl.

 


Listen as Professor Steve tells the horrific story of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.


Marvel at the stories of scientists that influenced Mary Shelley, including details about the real "Dr. Frankenstein".


Witness the wonder of Frankenstein as Professor Steve demonstrates many of the concepts found in both the book & the movies, including light, anatomy & electricity.


Stare in amazement as Professor Steve unleashes the electrical power contained in Frankenstein's laboratory!
