We feature books our staff members are reading every month, but here we’ll also feature some favorite music albums, audiobooks,  movies, and TV shows that are available through the library.

Non-book Staff Picks

Lark Rise to Candleford (series on DVD)

I was not quite done with the British show Lark Rise to Candleford when it disappeared from Hulu. Thankfully I was able to borrow the library’s DVD copies to finish the series.

The Vigil, 2019 (movie on DVD)

I recently watched The Vigil.  It has elements of a horror movie but also touches on the emotional dynamics of grief, regret, sadism, religion, and romance. I thought it was well written and acted.

Josh Groban, 2001 (album on CD and hoopla)

I fell in love with that album when I was graduating from high school, and feeling a bit lost and afraid as I faced the next part of my life. I’ve always found it immensely beautiful and comforting, and have come back to it many times over the years.

-Melissa

Jungle, 2014 (album on CD)

I saw Jungle perform on the Jools Holland Show and was floored by their danceable beats. They are a truly unique group.

-Michele

M Train by Patti Smith, 2015 (audiobook on Libby)

My favorite from Patti Smith, which includes memories of her life in Michigan. Read by the author.

-Nicole

The Librarians, 2014-2018 (TV show on Kanopy)

Masters of Horror: Stephen King (Binge Box with six DVDs)

Something from our collection that I particularly enjoy are Binge Boxes. Binge Boxes are collections of movies that you can check out all at once, gathered together under a specific theme.  Each DVD set contains four to six movies and can be checked out for seven days. Binge Boxes are a great way to pass the time.

A Band Called Death, 2012 (movie on DVD)

I found the documentary A Band Called Death here. I saw it mentioned on Twitter when it came out- it’s such a great story about the band and their music getting rediscovered. The music is amazing.
