Staff are divided over The Man Who Fell to Earth 🎥📘—available FREE with your library card!

Kevin recommends the 1976 film adaptation:
"A strange, disorienting tale of homesickness, addiction, and alienation. David Bowie’s haunting performance as the stranded, otherworldly visitor lends the film a sensitivity rare for the genre. With a fantastic soundtrack featuring Stomu Yamashta."

Katelynn prefers the original novel by Walter Tevis:
“A literary take on Sci-fi, with rich character representation and depth you won’t find on screen.”

Today we're remembering the life and legacy of Dolly Parton (1946 - 2026).

Beyond being an iconic musician, Dolly was an avid reader and a champion of books. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library has gifted millions of books to children around the world and had a lasting impact on literacy.

Rest in peace Dolly 💐

If you would like to join us in remembering Dolly, you can access a playlist of her songs for free on Freegal with your library card: https://ow.ly/wuOW50ZFs6v
