Mid-Day Movie

Joining in on the theme of our St. Johns Reads pick, An Immense World by Ed Yong, we will be viewing the classic, March of the Penguins (G).

Summary by Swank Motion Pictures:

Morgan Freeman narrates this exceptional and surprisingly moving documentary about the intricate and often hazardous mating rituals of penguins living in Antarctica.

In An Immense World, Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong takes us beyond the limits of human perception to explore how animals experience the world through senses both familiar and strange, from echolocation and ultraviolet vision to magnetic and electric fields. With vivid storytelling and infectious curiosity, Yong reveals that our reality is just a narrow slice of a much larger, richer sensory world teeming all around us.

An Immense World is available in both Adult and Young Adult editions in print, as well as in e-book and e-audiobook formats on Libby.

In its 22nd year, St. Johns Reads is the St. Johns County Public Library System's annual "One Book, One Community" event focused on creating a shared conversation on a selected novel. St. Johns Reads is proudly supported by the Friends of the Library groups.
