| Book of the Week |
|
This week's DVD of the Week is 'Dickensian'.
This twenty episode series by BBC is a dramatic representation of several of Charles Dickens' major works. Similar to other shows in recent memory, this blending works for viewers who want it to. Seeing familiar characters from classic literature is always fun, and the plots are familiar, if contrived. If you are a fan, try it.

We have a lot of fun at the library, but sober up. The heroin epidemic is catastrophic here in New Hampshire. This Thursday we are hosting a lunchtime documentary called 'Heroin(e)' from 12-1pm. It covers the heroic work of three women to save lives in Huntington, West Virginia, where overdose rates were through the roof. Daisy Pierce from the local organization Navigating Recovery will be here to answer questions. Lunch will be served, but you can also bring your own.
Enjoy the spring-like weather this week!
