STAFF PICK OF THE WEEK IS “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen.  Come on in and check it out! From Goodreads:

Pride and Prejudice has charmed generations of readers for more than two centuries. Jane Austen’s much-adapted novel is famed for its witty, spirited heroine, sensational romances, and deft remarks on the triumphs and pitfalls of social convention. Author Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose works of social realism achieved unprecedented critical and popular success, though Austen herself remained an anonymous writer throughout her life.

NEW MOVIES ON THE SHELF this week are “Men in Black International” starring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, “Gladiator” starring Russell Crowe, and “Numbers The Final Season” starring Rob Morrow!
