Join us in the Hammond Room for a screening of the 2024 drama film “The Outrun.” Saoirse Ronan plays a young woman who returns home after her London life spins out of control due to alcoholism.  Shot on location on the remote Orkney Islands, writer/director Nora Fingscheidt’s film is a powerful, vivid and ultimately uplifting story of a woman trying to restore peace and meaning to her life. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
