Join us at the Main Library on October 31 at 7:00 for a special showing of the silent film Faust, the story of a medieval alchemist and his deal with the Devil, featuring live music by Mike Hotter, Meg Prokorym, and Nick Matulis. The film is based on the classic book by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe which is itself based on an old German legend.
