The library will be hosting a family movie night 6 p.m. Feb. 18 featuring “The Addams Family,” released in 2019.

In this film, the Addams family moves to a bland suburb where Wednesday’s friendship with the daughter of a hostile and conformist local reality show host exacerbates conflict between the families.

The film is rated PG for macabre and suggestive humor and some action.
