(6-27-25) Upcoming events at the Greenville Public Library in July.

July movies feature outdoor adventures

Beat the heat this summer and bring your adventures indoors with Greenville Public Library’s July Movie Matinees!

On Thursday, July 17 at 1 p.m., we’ll be showing the 1988 (almost) cult classic, The Great Outdoors. This family comedy features the talents of the late John Candy and Dan Aykroyd as brothers-in-law with very different approaches to a relaxing fishing weekend. This film is rated PG with a run time of 1 hour 31 minutes. Patrons are invited to bring their favorite movie snacks and drinks to this free event. A jacket or sweater is rec-ommended for anyone who finds themselves easily chilled.

The following week on July 24, we’ll be hosting a movie just for teens. Beginning at 1 p.m., we’ll be showing the 2022 action adventure, Uncharted, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg. This movie is rated PG-13 with a run time of 1 hour 56 minutes. Snacks will be provided.

As always, movies at GPL are free! For more information, contact the library at (937) 548-3915.

Learn to travel like a pro at Greenville Public Library

Traveling is always a rewarding endeavor, but deciding when, where, and how to get to your desired destination can be a pain.

Worry no more by getting the inside track on trip planning from a pro! On Tuesday, July 8, GPL’s own Leigh Fletcher will be sharing her hard-earned travel knowledge with us at 10 a.m.

Leigh has been planning all kinds of trips as co-owner of Friends on Board, which specializes in group motor coach travel. Whether you’re looking to take a day trip or a week-long excursion, Leigh’s tips and tricks of the trade can make planning your dream vacation a breeze.

From choosing a location to visit, your mode of transportation, travel companions, and much, much more, Leigh will help shed light on the pros and cons of self-planning versus group tours. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a novice planning your first real vacation, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to get the scoop on all things travel.

For more information on this program, call the library at (937) 548-3915. For more on Leigh and Friends on Board, visit their website at yourfriendsonboard.com .
