March 5, 2020

“Dora” swings into the Lakewood Park Branch Library on Wednesday, March 25 at 3:30 p.m. with a showing “Dora and the Lost City of Gold.”  

Featuring Isabela Merced and Michael Peña, this live action movie is based off the popular Nickelodeon cartoon series “Dora the Explorer.”  Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle, nothing could prepare Dora for her most dangerous adventure yet -- high school. Accompanied by a ragtag group of teens and Boots the monkey, Dora embarks on a quest to save her parents while trying to solve the seemingly impossible mystery behind a lost Incan civilization. The film is PG with a running time of 102 minutes.
