Film Illustrates Need for Local Support
Will life imitate art? That’s what residents of Highland Park, a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, hope. A new low-budget movie that will document the closing and the struggle to reopen the Highland Park Public Library recently started filming on location. The movie, set to star Danny Glover and open in 2010, might just provide the publicity and additional funds the city needs to really reopen the library. The movie comes at a time when many public libraries across the country are closing for financial reasons and helps illustrate the importance of local support for public libraries.
