Hey teens,

Come out to the library to watch 42, starring Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson.

Here is a short synopsis about the film:

In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford), legendary manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, defies major league baseball's notorious color barrier by signing Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team. The heroic act puts both Rickey and Robinson in the firing line of the public, the press and other players. Facing open racism from all sides, Robinson demonstrates true courage and admirable restraint by not reacting in kind and lets his undeniable talent silence the critics for him.

Race is rated PG-13 for thematic elements including language.

All attendees will receive a raffle ticket for the Teen Summer Reading Program.

Thank you to the Friends of the Library for sponsoring this program.
