If you’ve got an afternoon off then you’ve got time to catch Ryan Gosling in the Golden Globe and Academy award winner La La Land. The Chippawa Library features this free matinee on Friday, May 26 at 2 p.m. Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and Mia (Emma Stone) are drawn together by their common desire to do what they love. But as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart. La La Land is 128 minutes long and is rated PG.

Teen tutors are available to help you work through it. Homework Help runs from 4-5 p.m.
