Hello Cherry Hill Public Library community!
I want to use my Director’s Page share the movies, television shows, apps and books that are currently on my radar. Here are my picks for April 2013!
MOVIE
Fall to Grace (HBO)
A documentary of particular interest to us in New Jersey, about the resignation of Governor Jim McGreevey in scandal, when he proclaimed his truth that he “was a Gay American”, and his painful reinvention. His work with female prison inmates, attempts to become an Episcopal priest, and second chances. “No one should be defined by the nadir of their existence. That shouldn’t define the entirety of their narrative” states McGreevey.
TV SHOW
Mad Men (AMC)
Season 6 premiered this month, now in 1968 with the turbulence and change of the end of the 1960s in America coming to the door of Sterling Coper Draper Pryce advertising agency. The characters, the workplace, moral and ethical choices, the clothes, and drama keep us drawn to this award winning drama.
Season 1-5 available on DVD at the Cherry Hill Public Library
 APP
Comixology

BOOK
The Expats
by Chris Pavone
I read on my Kindle for free from the South Jersey Audiobook and eBook Download Center Overdrive http://sjrlc.lib.overdrive.com/. Use your Cherry Hill Library Card to access thousands of items.
This book is both about expat Kate and her transition to Luxembourg with her family, but also her CIA past and marriage. “Intricate, riveting, and surprising, this thriller is of the highest caliber.”
