Welcome to the eighth episode of Ripples in Space hosted by the Yadkin County Public Library. Each month, we review a work of science fiction and discuss major scientific concepts used throughout the story. For this episode, we are reviewing the 1979 science fiction novel âThe Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxyâ by Douglas Adams.
This sci-fi comedy has seen every type of adaptation from radio, to video games and even stage shows. This beloved story begins with Arthur Dent, whose terrible Thursday just became worse as the Earth is just about to be destroyed by aliens to make way for an intergalactic bypass. The scary moment is cut short when his friend, Ford Prefect transports them onto another spaceship. Ford is not of Earth but an alien sent to make updates for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Encyclopedia. Arthur embarks on a journey that will take him across the galaxy to a once forgotten planet with a crew of odd beings. And a very depressed robot!

Welcome to the Page to Screen edition of the Yadkin County Public Library Podcast, where each month, we usually discuss a book that has been turned into a movie or TV series, as well as the reception of each. This month I thought weâd take a different direction, and instead of discussing one book, weâd take a look at a few books that are coming to the big screen in 2023. In this episode we discuss The Last Thing He Told Me, by Laura Dave, Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus, Dune by Frank Herbert, as well as The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins.

King Charles III will be crowned this Saturday, May 6, starting 5am EST. Here's a quick rundown of facts and cool things to notice while you're watching the ceremony. Andrea has pulled her inspiration from the review in April on S. J. Bennett's Her Majesty the Queen Investigates series that has Queen Elizabeth II investigating crimes. That series is available in regular print, large print, and audiobook in NC Cardinal. While all the "British royal fever" is circulating, it's a cool thing to read while having fun, especially for readers who find the monarchy fascinating, but don't want to read a nonfiction history book. www.sjbennettbooks.com
This episode is our chance to discuss all the wider British monarchy related topics and people, without stretching the last episode any longer than it was.

Welcome to the seventh episode of Ripples in Space hosted by the Yadkin County Public Library. Each month, we review a new science fiction book, movie or show and discuss major scientific concepts used throughout the story. For this episode, we are reviewing the 2021 science fiction, South Korean Netflix film Space Sweepers directed by Jo Sung-Hee.
Space Sweepers takes an interesting look at the idea of a heavily polluted, nearly uninhabitable Earth in the near future, where those who are considered elite can live on a newly colonized Mars. We follow a ragtag team of misfits who stumble upon a discovery that changes everything.
For this episode we will talk about the movie and my review, the cast members, recommendations for other movies and books that are similar and for a bit of science, take a look at the possibility of a habitable Mars.
Each week, other staff members will be bringing you more topics. Be sure to check back each Wednesday at 1pm for a new episode. Feel free to follow and connect with us on www.facebook.com/yadkincountypubliclibrary www.pinterest.com/yadkinlibrary twitter.com/YadkinL and www.instagram.com/yadkincountypubliclibrary .
