Need binge-watch recs? Staff selections will keep you glued to your screen this winter!
When Old Man Winter serves up a snow day, don't get left out in the cold-- look to the library for binge-worthy movies and TV shows! So what if the weather outside is frightful? Curl up on the couch with some popcorn and a cozy blanket. You're not going anywhere for a while.

I work in the circulation department and mostly read mysteries, short stories, graphic novels and books about comedy and pop culture. I also enjoy walking, yoga and watching TV— a lot of TV. British shows are my favorite, and involve debates with my husband about what else we've seen the actors in and then looking them up on the internet.
