The Mission Viejo Community of Character Committee will screen "A More Perfect Union" at 1:15 pm on Sunday, February 20 as part of its free movie of character series. 

The film is not rated and is suitable for people of all ages. 

The film will be shown on a theater-sized screen with theater-style seating in the Mission Viejo Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center Drive. 

A discussion follows the film about how the movie relates to the character traits we celebrate in Mission Viejo.

The Mission Viejo Library is dedicated to helping families engage in learning at home through fun at-home activities the community can enjoy.

Free take-home activity kits for kids

Take home a free activity kit! Kits are for ages 3 and older and encourage creativity, fine motor skills and early literacy. Winter-themed kits are available through the end of January and Valentine's Day STEM-themed kits will be offered in February.

To lessen the effects of the current COVID-19 surge, the Mission Viejo Library is now requiring appointments to enter the library, and the Friends of the Library Bookstore is temporarily closed. 

New appointments are available every half hour, and a study room reservation also qualifies as an appointment. Appointments can be made here. Library staff will not clear the building before each series of appointments but will use the reservation schedule to manage the flow of people into the building.

Appointments are no longer required to enter the library. However, we may implement additional changes to hours or services on short notice if adequate staffing is not available. Please check the library's website or Facebook for updates. 

In keeping with current state guidelines, masks are required inside the library for everyone over the age of 2.
