WHAT:  Come to see a delightful movie about a librarian with other librarians!  It's Desk Set (1957) starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. This is the eighth of nine Hepburn-Tracy films and their first in color. Katharine Hepburn, as Bunny Watson, is the library manager of the reference department at a big TV network. Spencer Tracy is Richard Sumner, a methods engineer, who wants to add a computer to her department which may put her and her staff out of work. Before we see the movie, we’ll meet Elizabeth Brownstein, the librarian at CBS who Katharine Hepburn followed around to get a feel for what librarians do. We’ll also hear a little about the film. 

WHEN: Friday, February 4, 6:30pm to 8:30pm

WHERE:  The movie will be shown at the Library of Congress, Madison Building, Mumford Room, Independence Ave SE, between 1st & 2nd Streets, Washington, DC.
