Here at Cole Public Library, we love a movie based on a book. If you do too, you don’t want to miss August’s Matinee Movie.

On Monday, Aug. 12, at 1 p.m. in Room 108, we’ll screen the movie The Boys in the Boat (PG-13). Directed by George Clooney, The Boys in the Boat is based on the best-selling non-fiction book of the same name by Daniel James Brown. Set against the backdrop of both the United States’ Great Depression and the Nazi Regime in Germany, the film follows the University of Washington rowing team as they train for and compete in 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. If you prefer to read the book before watching the movie, Cole Public Library has copies of the book available in both regular and large print.

Matinee Movies are held the second Monday of the month, feature films geared to adults, and include free popcorn and a drink.
