We have weddings on the brain here in Fairborn. I got married about two weeks ago, and a couple of the other staff members have children getting married later in the year. I had a pretty low-key experience, but even my easy-going family had a few moments of tension. With all the drama associated with planning a wedding, it is no wonder weddings are a major source of inspiration for Hollywood. Try any one of these great (and not-so-great) movies next time you are in a bridal mood.

Do you want to get in the mood for St. Patrick’s Day, but you don’t want to watch The Quiet Man (again)? We’ve put together a list of movies that take place in Ireland but they are definitely not The Quiet Man. We’ll stop mentioning The Quiet Man. Clicking on the picture or title in which you are interested, will take you to the catalog where you can place a hold or check the availability before you come into the library.
