A discussion group on the changes made between books and their adaptations.
When materials are adapted between medium naturally things are bound to change. The age old question is of course are these changes understandable or fundamentally change the original point of the source material. In this group we will discuss the differences between book and film adaptations. And if they were good, bad, interesting, or simply strange. Due to the nature of this spoilers will be openly talked about.
Free and open to the public. Persons of all skill levels are welcome. No reservation required. For more information, please call the Clark County Library at 702.507.3427.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
