4 pm.  After a day in the sun, come with the kids and watch "My Neighbor Totoro" on the big screen at the library! Rated PG. We'll have free popcorn and juice. A family favorite, the story follows two sisters who find themselves sharing a forest with Totoro, a giant rabbity creature who is the local forest god. Totoro leads them on a series of Alice in Wonderland-like adventures. Throw in a Cat Bus (a bus that is a cat), soot sprites and and a tear-jerking tale of two young girls with an ailing mother and you'll begin to understand some of the wide appeal of the film.
