<p class="content"><b>Hugo (PG)</b> After his clockmaker father perishes in a museum fire, Hugo goes to live with his Uncle Claude, a drunkard who maintains the clocks at a Paris train station. When Claude disappears, Hugo carries on his work and fends for himself by stealing food from area merchants. In his free time, he attempts to repair an automaton his father rescued from the museum, while trying to evade the station inspector, a World War I veteran with no sympathy for lawbreakers. When Georges, a toymaker, catches Hugo stealing parts for his mechanical man, he recruits him as an assistant to repay his debt. If Georges is guarded, his open-hearted ward, Isabelle, introduces Hugo to a kindly bookseller, who directs them to a motion-picture museum, where they meet film scholar René. In helping unlock the secret of the automaton, they learn about the roots of cinema, starting with the Lumière brothers, and give a forgotten movie pioneer his due, thus illustrating the importance of film preservation, a cause to which the director has dedicated his life.</p>

But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life.</p>

<p class="content"><b>The Rum Diary (R)</b> Tiring of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, journalist Paul Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, The San Juan Star, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman. Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault, the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiance of Sanderson. Sanderson, a businessman involved in shady property development deals, is one of a growing number of American entrepreneurs who are determined to convert Puerto Rico into a capitalist paradise in service of the wealthy. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmen's financial benefit, or use them to take him down.</p>

Do you have any old (or even not-so-old) photographs of Pickens County people or places? We would like to take a look and consider them for our collection. Generally, we are looking for pre-1980 photos of schools, churches, historic homes, prominent persons, public events and commercial and government buildings. You do NOT have to donate your photos. We can return them after they have been scanned. Also, any information about the photo is especially helpful. We have several unidentified photos in our Flickr collection, so play detective with us!
Check Your Attic!
The Library System and the State Archives are missing the following years of our local papers. If you have any old newspapers, please consider donating them to the library to fill the gap for our researchers.
