This month, Reel Discussions at Richmond Memorial Library will show the film "The Help." You are invited to watch the free film and join in a group discussion afterward.
Time is 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 23.
The film centers three very different women in Mississippi, in the year 1962. Skeeter is returning from college with a journalism degree, and her beloved childhood black maid, Constantine, has disappeared. Aibileen is a maid who has raised 17 white children in her life. Her outspoken friend, Minny, has never been able to keep quiet and she is hired on the sly by Celia.
Skeeter decides to write a tell-all book of interviews from the maids of Jackson, Miss., which was a very taboo, and perhaps even illegal, thing to take on in the time of Jim Crow laws and segregation.

The library is located at 19 Ross St. in the City of Batavia.
