Event Details

Join us for an entertaining movie experience at the library. Whether you're a movie buff or just looking for a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, the Monday Movie Matinee is a perfect opportunity to view a feature film for free.

This month’s film selection is The Man Who Invented Christmas. In 1843 London, author Charles Dickens finds himself in financial trouble after writing three unsuccessful novels in a row. Desperate for a hit, Dickens relies on real-life inspiration and his vivid imagination to bring Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and other classic characters to life in A Christmas Carol, the Yuletide tale that makes a lasting imprint on the holiday season we know today. 

Christopher Plummer gives a classic performance in his tailor-made role as Ebenezer Scrooge, and actor Dan Stevens is engaging as a young, distressed Charles Dickens. The film is rated PG and runs 1 hour 44 minutes. Registration required.

Sponsored by The Friends of the Granby Public Libraries.
