A Wonderful New Year!
Happy New Year from your Community Library, everyone. I hope everyone had a great holiday season full of good cheer and lots of goodies. Now that winter’s frigid days are upon us, it means time for hunkering down with a good book or movie. Here are some of the newest selections we have for you at your Community Library this month.

Books
The Whispering Room
This new novel from bestselling author Dean Koontz has Jane Hawk, fiction’s most relentless, resourceful, stunning new heroine, continuing her battle against a murderous conspiracy in this riveting sequel to The Silent Corner. Driven by love for her lost husband and by fear for the five-year-old son she has sent into hiding, Jane has become an unstoppable predator. Those she is hunting will have nowhere to run when her shadow falls across them.

Hardcore Twenty-Four
This latest Stephanie Plum novel from author Janet Evanovich is sure to please. Brain-eating zombies, headless corpses, and a wayward fifty-pound boa constrictor named Ethel—yeah, it’s been a pretty routine week for Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum.

End Game
Author David Balducci returns with his most explosive thriller yet. Jessica Reel and Will Robie are two of the most lethal people alive. They’re the ones the government calls in when the utmost secrecy is required to take out those who plot violence and mass destruction against the United States. Now their handler, Blue Man, is missing. And when Will and Jessica find themselves up against an adversary with superior firepower and a home-court advantage, they’ll be lucky if they make it out alive, with or without Blue Man.

DVDs
Baby Driver
Baby (Ansel Elgort), a talented young getaway driver, uses the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Lily James), Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life and make a clean getaway. But after being coerced into working for a criminal boss (Kevin Spacey), he must face the music. Rated R

Spider-Man: Homecoming
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-clinging super hero. Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). But when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened. Rated PG-13

The Hitman’s Bodyguard
Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson star as an elite bodyguard and renowned hit man who are forced to work together. In order to succeed, they don’t just have to avoid getting killed…they have to avoid killing each other. Also starring Gary Oldman and Selma Hayek. Rated R

There it is folks, and that is not all—we have hundreds of other great books and DVDs for you to enjoy on a cold winter’s night. So stop in to your Community Library, say hello, and have a look around. It’s warm inside!
