For Gold, For Country, For Each Other: Watch the Thrilling Documentary “The Boys of ’36”!

Join us for the showing of "The Boys of '36", the documentary inspired by Daniel James Brown’s critically acclaimed nonfiction book (and this summer's Community Reads title!) The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In the summer of 1936, nine working class young men from the  University of Washington took the rowing world and the nation by storm when they captured the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Berlin. "The Boys of ’36" recounts their unexpected victory and the obstacles they overcame to achieve it, giving hope to a nation struggling to emerge from the depths of the Great Depression.

Attendees of this program will receive a free entry slip for the summer reading grand prize drawing.
