Mini Museum @ Jackson
From April 22 to May 4, the Mini Museum will
feature a photo display of fourteen public libraries
in the United States, including a reprint of the
1973 Riverside Bookmobile.
The original purpose of a public library was to 
acquire books and then lend those books out to the
community to improve literacy, share knowledge
and provide education and entertainment. This
allowed a huge number of people to share one
book rather than each having to purchase their
own copy.
Today, public libraries offer a wide variety of
resources and services to the communities they
serve. The primary goals are still education,
information, individual improvement and
recreation.

Staff Picks:

"Bohemian Rhapsody

"Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman"-
"I have long been a fan of Winston Churchill. However, as I watched the movie, it appeared that I was the only one who liked him. It helped that I knew the outcome and his contemporaries did not. This was the story of his first gig as Prime Minister at a time when not everyone knew about the true nature of Hitler. Churchill did not come to the position with a good reputation as a leader. To add to his woes, he was stubborn and did not take compromise lightly. In his dismay, he turned to the public and asked them directly, one-on-one, what they wanted for the country. To a person, they responded that they still wanted to fight the Nazis. Thus, his famous speech, "We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing ground." Oldman convincingly captured Churchill's face and voice, so as an audience, I felt his conviction as if it were my ouwn country."-
Nancy, Jackson Branch
