Lakeshore Library is pleased to present a free screening of the documentary movie "My Octopus Teacher" on Friday, Feb. 10 at 2:00. Filmmaker Craig Foster returned to his childhood home on the coast of South Africa and began daily dives in the frigid and dangerous waters, exploring the underwater kelp forest and discovering the secrets of a wild octopus. The resulting film, which is 85 minutes long and rated G, won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2021. Join us for a mind-altering experience of the natural world!
