Girls’ Night Out is Dec. 26

ASHLAND, Ky. — Boyd County Public Library will host its monthly Girls’ Night Out program on Wednesday.

“Sparkle” will be shown at the Main Branch, located at 1740 Central Ave., starting at 5:30 p.m. Admission is $2, or bring a food item to share. All money collected will be used to purchase pizza and other refreshments.

This 2012 movie, rated PG-13, is set in the 1960s. Three sisters form a girl group and soon become local sensations with major label interest. But fame becomes a challenge as the close-knit family begins to fall apart. Whitney Houston stars as the girls’ mom – the last movie role before her death.
