Las Cruces Public Libraries invite you to participate in the Dancing Romances movie marathon.

The marathon will begin at 11 a.m. with a 1978 musical starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (rated PG). The second movie begins at 1 p.m. This 1984 movie stars Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer and is set in a town where dancing is outlawed (rated PG).
