The Yankalilla Library is excited to invite you to the much-anticipated premiere launch of the captivating film "Murder in the Library," a unique collaborative project between the Yankalilla Library, Yankalilla Youth Theatre and our vibrant local community.

This remarkable event promises an unforgettable experience, bringing together the essence of our district's history, culture and talent on the silver screen. Join us as we celebrate the culmination of the Common Threads project, which showcases the boundless creativity and collaborative spirit of our community.

The Common Threads project was conceived as a grant application to the Libraries Board Innovation Fund in March of 2022. Originating during a period when the Yankalilla Library was operating out of the Civic Centre as the new Library was being constructed, the project was developed as a means to fulfil the library's mission of fostering community connections. The initial vision aimed to curate, create and celebrate local personalities through a series of filmed portraits, in order to expand the library's digital outreach and showcase the forthcoming Yankalilla Library facilities and services.

However, the journey took a different path, with the involvement of three local visionaries – Evette Wolf, Kell Burgess and Wendy McPhee – who collaborated closely with Library Officer Kathryn Prenzler and film-maker Mikey Hill. Together, they reimagined the project to create "Murder in the Library," a film set within the backdrop of the new library. This innovative concept seamlessly integrates the talents of the Yankalilla Youth Theatre participants with a diverse group of community members, fostering intergenerational connections and highlighting the uniqueness of local individuals.

Through this creative endeavour, the Yankalilla Library has continued to fulfil its core project objectives by engaging the community, bridging generational gaps and producing an exceptional, entertaining product that showcases the talents and interests of our people.

Don't miss out on this incredible celebration of community spirit, creativity and collaboration. Secure your spot by booking before September 1 and join us at the Yankalilla Library on Sunday, 10th September, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM for the premiere launch of "Murder in the Library."
