Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is more than just a comic book movie or the thirtieth film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; it is a cultural phenomenon. In the much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 global blockbuster, the people of Wakanda must fight to protect their home as they mourn the loss of their beloved King T’Challa (aka the Black Panther). If you're a new and existing fan of the franchise and you're looking for more Black Panther content, the Library has some recommendations you just might love!

If you’re a fan of J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic books and (especially) Peter Jackson’s epic fantasy-adventure film trilogy The Lord of the Rings (from the early 2000s), you might just be watching the first two episodes of Amazon Prime Video’s newly released The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power this weekend. But with a weekly release schedule, you might be looking for fantasy book recommendations between premiere dates. The Library has you covered!

While Marvel’s newest Disney+ series, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, is faithful to its comic-book counterpart in many ways, it’s also a departure from “the formula.” Jennifer Walters, a.k.a. She-Hulk, is not like other Marvel heroes. Unlike her cousin, Bruce Banner, she doesn’t lose herself to the “monster.” And unlike fellow lawyer (and vigilante) Matt Murdock/Daredevil, she doesn’t have a secret identity. But maybe a female-led comedy/legal drama (albeit with a healthy dose of action and adventure) is just what the Doctor (Strange) ordered?

If you’re new to the Jade Giantess or just find yourself wanting more than an episode a week, the Library has you covered.

The long-awaited small-screen adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman just dropped on Netflix! And we've got some great book recommendations to keep you up late reading. Why count sheep when there's one more comic or one more chapter?

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman! Well, not exactly…

To be fair, Krypto the Super-Dog and “the last son of Krypton” have the exact same superpowers. Which is why you’ll see the caped, crime-fighting canine flying side-by-side with his best friend, the Man of Steel, high in the skies of Metropolis! And now, he’s the star of the new summer blockbuster DC League of Super-Pets – in theatres July 29. If you like Super-Pets, then we have good news for you (and several book recommendations)!

Whether you’re a Francophile, a fashionista or just a fan of heartwarmingly good stories: Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris has a little something for everyone. This newest movie is the third adaptation of the beloved 1958 novel by Paul Gallico. It follows Ada Harris, a humble but determined housekeeper, whose one wish is to wear a couture Christian Dior dress of her very own. It's this seemingly impossible dream which takes her on an extraordinary, life-changing adventure.

Doing a good deed feels pretty good. Whether it’s a random act of kindness, raising money for your favorite charity or returning books to the library… “Good guys” always do their part. These kids books are full of good guys... and bad guys who are trying to do good!

The latest Batman movie reboot is set in the vigilante's second year of fighting crime. For now, fans looking for stories from Batman’s later years or those centered around other members of the extended “Bat Family” will have to look beyond the big screen (for now). Fortunately, Batgirl, Batwoman, Robin, and Nightwing are all well-represented at the Library!
