Hi everyone, this new weekly post will combine and replace our Suggested Listening and Suggested Viewing posts, into one entertainment post, published on Fridays, just in time for the weekend. Enjoy!
Our Enjoy The Weekend posts will contain ten songs and two streaming video recommendations, one from a mainstream service and the other from Kanopy, the library’s free to access streaming service (all you need is a library card!).
First the songs:
