Staff Picks
The house in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
A delightful read about the power of finding your chosen family (and love) and defying the government. I love all of his books. "An enchanting story, masterfully told..."
Picked by Cristal van de Pol, Pictou Campus Library Technician.
The Iron Claw from Criterion-on-Demand
If you love to cry - this movie is for you. The film is based on the true story of the Von Erich's, a family of professional wrestlers from the 1980s with a tragic history. The casting here is fantastic, and Zac Efron really comes into his own in this role. This story will anger you and devastate you all at the same time. Once you watch the movie, I urge you to look into the story of the family to see some details they couldn't include in the film - it will make you even more sad.

The Disaster Artist from Criterion-on-Demand
A delightful tribute to the joy and madness of making movies, The Disaster Artist follows the outrageous adventures of eccentric filmmaker Tommy Wiseau and his best friend, actor Greg Sestero. These two endearing misfits move to L.A. and try to live the Hollywood dream by making their very own feature film, but end up embarking on a wildly unpredictable and hilariously unforgettable production, leading to one of the most infamous, bizarre, and beloved midnight movies of all time, The Room.
