Sebring Library To Host 'Movies'

A youth group will be selling refreshments, but movie goers are welcome to bring their own food and drinks, along with blankets and/or lawn chairs for seating.

According to the library, licensing rules prevent it from disclosing the title of the movie. The library selected a movie that has to do with Black History Month. The movie is about a young girl raised by a pair of liberal, sophisticated parents, and her announcement to them of her intention to marry a brilliant scientist she met on vacation. One little problem though - the parents have a problem with the fact that their daughter loves a black man.
