Second Sunday Film
The library, on Sunday, June 9, at 2 p.m., will screen a two-hour movie, rated PG-13, which the Internet Movie Database describes this way: “On a summer vacation in the Singapore home of a man she hopes to marry, Chinese-American Rachel Chu is unexpectedly introduced to a rich and scheming clan that strongly opposes its member’s relationship with an American girl.”
