| DVD of the Week |
|
This week's DVD of the Week is 'Life.'
As a team of Astronauts on the International Space Station find what they are looking for... life on Mars, the extraterrestrial life form turns out to be far more dangerous than they could have anticipated. This science fiction thriller/horror is well shot with a solid cast, but know what you are getting into before you try it.

Hey, do you read? The Summer Reading Programs are all about celebrating reading, and they have finally begun.
Now adults can get a scratch ticket every time they check out, with nice, simple prizes. Teens set goals for themselves, and children can practice delayed gratification as they save up for sweet prizes. There are so many programs to try out as we are at the library reading.
Reading is its own motivation, but the Summer Reading Program is a chance to really acknowledge how wonderful it is.
