The Automat: Screening and Q&A

The Free Library Foundation invites members to attend a special documentary screening hosted by Parkway Central's Rare Book Department in honor of their current exhibition, We Are What We Eat. 

Travel back in time to experience this unique piece of America's history, an exciting story and one that may seem strangely familiar. More than just entertainment, THE AUTOMAT is a parable of how we once dined happily together before turning to the isolated and unhappy experience offered by fast food, a bad deal that no amount of advertising can disguise.
