Holiday Movies in the Den - Reading Room
If you are in Saskatoon, you will have noticed that the holiday season is here.
At the USLC, we will be opening up the Den - Reading Room to host a series of holiday classic movies for your viewing pleasure. On December 1, 4, 5, and 6, we will screen a film in the Reading Room as a way for you to relax and enjoy some of this festive season. We will begin each day at 11:00am.
Bring your popcorn, snacks, and unwind with some fun movies!
