April Books with Movie Adaptations

Hear about four books to read before seeing their movie or TV adaptations. Laurie Dreyer of Troy Public Library’s Lansingburgh branch talks about those, plus the upcoming opening of their “Seed Library” on May 19th, and the “Library Expedition” program to encourage folks to visit the 36 libraries in the Upper Hudson Library System. Books: “The Cabin at the End of the World” (eerie tale by Paul Tremblay, 2018); “Daisy Jones and the Six” (novel of ’70s rock bands, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, 2019); “Dune”(first book in the classic sci-fi series by Frank Herbert, 1965); and “Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar” (essays by Cheryl Strayed, 2012).
