viewing program from 12:30-1:30 pm.

Staff Picks:
 "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries DVD series"
"Follow the Honorable Phryne Fisher, a jazz-age woman sleuth, through the back alleys, shady markets, and jazz clubs of the late 1920's Melbourne. A glamorous lady detective in a mostly male world, she goes about her work with a pearl-handled pistol and dagger-sharp wit. Along with her ever-faithful companion, Dot Williams, Detective Jack Robinson, and Constable Hugh Collins, she is determined to solve any case that comes her way. Sharply written and gorgeously costumed, these episodes are sure to charm fans of costume dramas and mysteries alike."
This series of movies are based on the novels by Kerry Greenwood which can be found on our FREADING ebook lending site, FREE of charge with your Riverside Regional Library card!!
Come in and check out these British Murder Mystery series DVD's or download the FREE ebooks on the FREADING site from Riverside Regional Library!
"-Novena, Jackson Branch
"The Man from U.N.C.L.E"-
"This movie is a recent release loosely based on the old T.V. series of the same name. Our story picks up with an ex-soldier CIA recruit (Napoleon Solo) being paired with a KGB agent (Illya Kuryakin) to work together during the Cold War to confound a common enemy. After an introduction filled with physical conflict and mutual mistrust, the American and the Russian gradually decide to protect each other's backs. An innocent woman is partnered with Illya to provide a pathway to the doomsday bomb's owner. Napoleon is the red herring but with necessary skills to further the mission. The movie has something for everyone: action, history, humor, romance and pending world doom. One clever car chase scene was unique in movie-making history. The attraction for me was the subtle double entendres that were laught out-lound funny. I hope you enjoy it, too."-
