Reaching for the Moon is available to check out as a DVD and to stream on Kanopy.
The Western film usually revolves around a plot of law and order on the frontier with a simple conflict of good vs. bad. It is often set amongst the struggle in the American West with the landscapes of nature playing a prominent part in the setting.
The screwball comedy is a subgenre of the romantic comedy motion picture that popped up after the onset of the Great Depression and stuck around up to about the time America's involvement in World War II.
Country Music is a genre that can be, for many, either discounted entirely or staunchly listened to above all else. However, it is actually as varied as any genre of music. Compiling all the subgenres and movements would be a near impossible task here, but this list focuses on some of the generational shifts in Country (and Western) and highlights a few of the musicians in our collection.

The second issue of the Library's new community Quaranzine has arrived!
There are two different versions––one is for reading on a screen, and the other has been imposed so it can be printed at home, folded, stapled, and read in that fashion. Select short-side binding on most printers to print correctly.

The Man in a Case by Anton Chekhov is also available in a short story collection on Hoopla.
Film Noir isn't exactly a genre, like how most of these are crime pictures, but rather a more specific descriptor of the mood and look of the type of movie it describes.
There is no way to make a definitive list of even a single sub-genre of Metal (let alone have all those titles available in our collection), so this list will just give a few examples from a few of the sub-genres of what can be classified as "metal". Our collection is likely missing some seminal releases here, so apologies to those who notice any glaring omissions.
