Today's Now Showing at your Library film:

Here's your chance to watch and discuss the film The Eyes of Me by Keith Maitland at a Community Cinema screening event.

How do you see yourself, when you can't see at all? At the Texas School for the Blind students juggle all the usual pressures of high school along with the added struggles of growing up blind. Spend a dynamic year with four blind teens learning how to fit in and live independently. Forced to confront the world without sight, they share their inner-visions of the outer world. Ultimately, you cannot understand their perceptions without challenging your own.
