The Next Chapter Feature Film Series returns for 2026 on Thursday, February 26 at 10:15 AM in the Innovation Lab Classroom. We look forward to showing Hidden Figures (2016), a biographical drama about three female African-American mathematicians providing crucial calculations for NASA's space race against the Soviets, all while dealing with the racist and sexist assumptions of their white co-workers. This film stars Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Kirsten Dunst, and Jim Parsons. Rated PG, Hidden Figures lasts 2 hours, 7 minutes. This film includes Closed Captioning.
The Next Chapter is an in-person event for adults of all ages where we offer informative and entertaining presentations by staff, the Friends of Freeman Library, and local partners. All Next Chapter events are free to attend and open to the public. Any refreshments served at our events are provided by the Friends of Freeman Library.
