To check out our media, you need a library card. You can get this at the circulation desk during opening hours or just use our registration form from home
Our library present books and movies concerning each one of the U.S. States. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know well known and lesser known states through the classics as well new releases.
This project was inspired by an article of the Business Insider from April 2016: The Most Famous Book That Takes Place in Every State.
We have expanded the project as we not only introduce one book per state but rather multiple forms of media (books, movies, television shows).
You are unsure whether a book / film is the right one for you? Click on the cover and read someone else's review on it.
