Happy Turkey Day!

Hello my fellow bookworms,

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there who celebrate it! To those who do not...Happy Go-For-A-Ride-Day! Go out there and take a walk, ride your bike, go feel the air on your face. Take a breather from the holiday stress that seems to arrive earlier and earlier each year.

I would like to share a link with you today, in case you find yourself in need of a new binge-worthy online activity. The Library of Congress recently released what they call the National Screening Room, a website that hosts a collection of films available for free for all to view worldwide from their own home. Per the library website, this collection is a current project of the Library that was created in order to digitalize the most diverse movies possible from its collection in order to contribute to culture and life-long learning. The movies available are historical, documenting past times and events. Please note that not all the movies are uplifting, and can be offensive, but they do serve to provide awareness of the different attitudes and beliefs that make up our history.

If you are interested in becoming lost in time, please visit the National Screening Room website here.

You can even download the majority of movies listed, as well as easily cite them as references for any sort of historical papers you may have to write!

Happy reading! :)
