#Pleasantville is one of my favorite movies. It reminds me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Everyone is in their bubble until they are introduced to something new. It is on #Kanopy. @kanopy.com

Based on a true story ... a Member lost their keys, and #TeamHPL's Emily was able to track them down using the HPL Library card FOB attached. This saved them time and money by avoiding key replacements!

HPL's #LibraryCard saves the day once again! 📚
