Recommended DVD for March

Recommended DVD for March:

Pleasantville

(shelved at 791.43)

Synopsis:
A brother and sister from the 1990s are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves trapped in a 1950s style television show. Here they have loving parents, old fashioned values, and an overwhelming amount of innocence and naivete. Not sure how to get home, they integrate themselves into this "backwards" society and slowly bring some color to this black and white world. But as innocence fades, the two teens begin to wonder if their 90s outlook is really to be preferred. Written by R. P. Falvey  for IMDB.com

Come in and help us celebrate World Book Night
today from 2pm.

Includes a huge book giveaway and more face painting!

You said, we did...

We have rearranged the magazines and journals into A-Z order by title after receiving feedback that arranging them by subject area was making them harder to find.

Magazine and journal titles beginning with "A" are on the shelves nearest the comfy seating, titles at the end of the alphabet are at the end nearest the printers.

To help you find resources, there is an A-Z Guide and a Subject Guide at the far end of the shelving. As always, if you are not sure, please ask.
