Movie Matinee: “Flyways,” Granville Branch of the Putnam County Public Library District
The Granville Branch of the Putnam County Public Library District invites the community to a special Movie Matinee screening of Flyways, a breathtaking documentary that takes audiences inside the extraordinary world of migratory shorebirds, on Tuesday, October 14th at 1:00 p.m.
Every year, more than 200 species—including Far Eastern Curlews, Lesser Yellowlegs, Red Knots, and Hudsonian Godwits—embark on epic journeys along ancient routes known as Flyways. These remarkable travelers migrate thousands of miles from the Southern Hemisphere to Arctic breeding grounds and back again, with some species flying for up to nine days non-stop without food or water.
Yet these incredible birds now face grave challenges. Flyways explores how climate change and rapid urban development are driving steep population declines, and follows a global conservation movement—scientists, activists, and everyday bird lovers—working together to protect these resilient yet vulnerable species.
This 54-minute documentary (rated TV-14) is made available through public performance rights by Kanopy. For more information, please contact the Library at 815-339-2038.
