The library offers free movie screenings recommended for children aged 12 and up through its Reel Teen program. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, beanbag chairs, sodas and snacks - the library will provide the movies.
Synopsis: After battling a fire-breathing dragon and the evil Lord Farquaad to win the hand of Princess Fiona, Shrek now faces his greatest challenge: the in-laws. Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their honeymoon to find an invitation to visit Fiona’s parents, the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away. With Donkey along for the ride, the newlyweds set off. All of the citizens of Far, Far Away turn out to greet their returning Princess, and her parents happily anticipate the homecoming of their daughter and her new Prince. But no one could have prepared them for the sight of their new son-in-law, not to mention how much their little girl had…well…changed. Little did Shrek and Fiona know that their marriage had foiled all of her father’s plans for her future…and his own. Now the King must enlist the help of a powerful Fairy Godmother, the handsome Prince Charming and that famed ogre killer Puss In Boots to put right his version of "happily ever after." - From cinema.com

Severe Weather Warnings
|
| The Outdoor Warning System for the City of Irving is comprised of nineteen (19) sirens located throughout the city. The sirens are sounded to warn the residents of Irving, who are outside at the time, of approaching severe weather.
Severe weather warnings will be issued to notify residents about approaching storms including tornadoes, hail that is one-inch or larger and straight-line winds in excess of 50 miles per hour. If you are outside and the sirens are sounded, please seek shelter inside your home or office building.
The Outdoor Warning System is tested on the first Wednesday of every month at 1 p.m., weather permitting. In addition to the monthly test, the sirens sound the Windsor Chimes at noon every day. When sounded in an emergency situation, the sirens sound a steady tone and this indicates that a tornado, large hail or high winds are imminent for the City of Irving.
The sirens rotate 360 degrees and the warning tone will fade as it rotates away from your location and will get louder as it turns back toward you. This will occur several times during the activation.
