Notable for being filmed with the same cast over a 12 year period, we can watch as the actors themselves grow with the roles they play. [caption id="attachment_1153" align="aligncenter" width="209"] Boyhood[/caption] Also, this month we have a great crop of new books for your reading pleasure. [gallery type=

Happy National Library Week!
