The film centres on the bond between spirited diabetic bride Shelby and her devoted mother, M’Lynn, as they navigate major life choices, health struggles, and devastating loss.
North by Northwest at 2 30 pm
In Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic thriller North by Northwest, smooth New York ad man Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) is mistaken for a secret agent named George Kaplan. Kidnapped, framed for murder, and chased across America by foreign spy Philip Vandamm (James Mason), Thornhill flees by train, falls for the mysterious Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint), and races toward a climax on Mount Rushmore.
Councillor Surgeries
Chalfont St Peter Parish Councillors regularly hold surgeries at the library to meet with local residents who have an issue that they can help with.
Celfunde
On the first Saturday morning of each month, from 10am until 1pm, the library hosts a ‘local history surgery’ open to anyone interested in the history and heritage of Chalfont St Peter. The Celfunde Inheritance, the village’s local history and heritage group will welcome you with a cuppa and biscuits, if you’d like to share your knowledge of the village’s history, or to learn more, or if you have anything you’d like us to research on your behalf. We are particularly interested in hearing your memories and scanning old photographs of the village for posterity.
