The township of Cedar Grove is making it easy for residents to stay cool this summer with a series of Friday movies for children and families.

Beat the daytime heat and come to the air-conditioned Cedar Grove Public Library, 1 Municipal Plaza at 2 p.m. today for the family film “Where The Wild Things Are!,” an adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy is sent to bed without his supper and creates his own world — a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.

Tonight at 8:30, families are invited to bring blankets and chairs to Morgan Farm, 903 Pompton Ave., for the Movies Under The Stars screening of the movie, “The Muppets.”
