The Polar Express at Park Forest Library: Dec. 5, 2026
The event is scheduled for two hours, while the listed runtime of The Polar Express is 100 minutes. That gives families two useful planning details: the full program window and the length of the film itself.
A picture-book story on screen
Chris Van Allsburg’s children’s book is the basis for the film. Its story follows a boy who boards a train bound for the North Pole and finds his doubts challenged along the way.
The book connection gives families a preview of the story’s focus on belief and discovery. The program listing describes a movie screening, not a separate reading or book activity.

Pajamas are an invitation; cocoa details are open
The event description invites attendees to watch in pajamas and have hot cocoa. It does not say whether the library will provide the cocoa, so families should not assume it is included.
