a Sprint cellular tower. 
Wi-Fi portable hotspots are now available
for checkout by all Riverside Regional Library
cardholders age 18 or older.

Mini Museum at Jackson
The final two weeks of the Mini-Museum for this
year will be "Literature as Art".
One set for Nov. 12-16 and the second set
for Nov. 19-24.
Literature alone can be an art display. The beauty
of words can touch the soul. Thus encouraged,
the reader re-produces the words in an artful way
to illustrate his/her emotional response.
The Mini-Museum will resume Jan. 2019 as
"History Inspires Art."

Staff Picks:

"Aliens on Vacation" by Clete Barrett Smith  

"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
