The Harrisburg District Library is thrilled to be hosting Jamie Poorman again! This time Jamie will be getting us into the holiday spirit with "It's a Wonderful Life: From Box Office Flop to Holiday Tradition."

Think you know Frank Capra’s classic film? This illustrated program takes audiences behind the scenes — from the story’s origins as a Christmas card to its mixed reception at the box office and ultimate rise as a beloved holiday tradition. We’ll explore the cast, sets, technical challenges, and fascinating trivia, including the film’s unexpected connection to a Disney Princess and how Lionel Barrymore lost a bet with Donna Reed.
