The Narrabri Library will now have TWO movie screenings - 10.30am & 2.00pm

What | A Call To Spy (2019)
When | Wednesday, 2 September 2026 | 10.30am & 2.00pm

Rated M. 2hrs

In the beginning of WWII, with Britain becoming desperate, Churchill orders his new spy agency -- the Special Operations Executive (SOE) -- to recruit and train women as spies. Their daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance. SOE's "spymistress," Vera Atkins (Stana Katic), recruits two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall (Sarah Megan Thomas), an ambitious American with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan (Radhika Atpe), a Muslim pacifist. Together, these women help to undermine the N**i regime in France, leaving an unmistakable legacy in their wake. Inspired by true stories. 🎬

🎟 Free Entry – All Welcome!
Bring a friend, grab a comfy seat, and enjoy a great movie in a relaxed library setting!

💛 Dolly's generosity has helped bring the joy of books to 571 children across the Narrabri Shire. Her belief that every child deserves the opportunity to read, learn and dream continues to make a difference to local families every day.

If you would like to help continue Dolly's incredible legacy in our community, donations can be made via https://tinyurl.com/svr9h3a6
Every donation helps place more books into the hands of Narrabri Shire children. 📚❤️

Today, we remember and honour Dolly Parton - a woman whose generosity has given millions of children the joy, wonder and possibility that comes from owning a book.

Here in the Narrabri Shire, her vision has reached 571 children through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

That is 571 little hands opening books.
571 bedtime stories.
571 imaginations being sparked.
And countless moments of connection between children and the people who love them.

We are deeply grateful for Dolly’s extraordinary legacy and for the simple but powerful belief that every child deserves the chance to dream.

We are motivated more than ever to continue to raise the funds for the program so Dolly’s legacy continues to live on in every story.

Vale Dolly Parton 😔
