Adults who attend will each receive on raffle ticket – two if they show their SJCPLS library card – for a copy of the book the monthly movie is based upon! This book is also owned by SJCPLS in print as well as downloadable formats via Overdrive. Thank you to the Friends of the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library for generously sponsoring our Literary Movie Matinees this summer for adults.

This month, the Movie Matinee will be “A Man Called Otto,” which is based upon the book A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. Amazon Summary for “A Man Called Ove” starring Tom Hanks:  “Based on the # 1 New York Times bestseller “A Man Called Ove,” A Man Called Otto tells the story of Otto Anderson (Tom Hanks), a grump who no longer sees purpose in his life following the loss of his wife. Otto is ready to end it all, but his plans are interrupted when a lively young family moves in next door, and he meets his match in quick-witted Marisol. She challenges him to see life differently, leading to an unlikely friendship that turns his world around. A heartwarming and funny story about love, loss, and life, A Man Called Otto shows that family can sometimes be found in the most unexpected places.” Join us!
