That's not all folks! Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, one of the greatest comedic duos in history, are making their hilarious return to the big screen in this sci-fi comedy adventure. This is the first-ever fully animated Looney Tunes feature-length movie created for a cinema audience. Porky and Daffy are our unlikely heroes and Earth's only hope when facing the threat of alien invasion. In this buddy-comedy of epic proportions, they race to save the world, delivering all the laugh-out-loud gags and vibrant visuals that have made the Looney Tunes so iconic, but on a scope and scale yet to be experienced.

After a year of quiet, retired assassins Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie are eager for action. Called back by the elite Museum organization, they face their greatest challenge: an internal mole has exposed their past kills, linking them to a ruthless Eastern European gangster. This new enemy is systematically eliminating agents, and the quartet is next on the list. They embark on a global hunt to unmask the mole and stop the gangster who anticipates their every move. Outmatched and targeted, their combined killer instincts are their only hope for survival.

Twenty-four-year-old Nic Monroe is adrift in Mishawaka, Indiana, seven years after her older sister, Kasey, vanished. Stuck in a dead-end job and reeling from a recent DWI, Nic is haunted by Kasey's unsolved disappearance, which mirrors that of another local woman, Jules Connor. Both cases went cold, leaving Nic in a prolonged rut.

Hope arrives when Jules's sister, Jenna Connor, contacts Nic. United by their shared grief and relentless desire for answers, the two women embark on a desperate search for their missing siblings. Their quest becomes a gripping tale of two sisters willing to risk everything, even their own lives, to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearances.

Radon Kit Project

University of Georgia Extension partnership

This initiative raises awareness for radon safety across the state. The program promotes public health by providing electronic radon monitors for checkout at all Georgia public libraries.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking and is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. It occurs naturally when uranium breaks down to form radon. Uranium is often found in high concentrations in granite rocky soils, as are common in northern Georgia counties. As radon is released into the soil, it can enter buildings through the foundation and well water, eventually building to dangerous levels.

By checking out a monitor with their library card, patrons can easily evaluate the radon levels in their living spaces, and determine if they are in danger. Radon can affect any home, regardless of construction or age. If found, radon can be fixed by installing a radon mitigation system.

Each radon kit comes with directions for use. Radon testing within a home takes two weeks. The kit has a circulation period of fourteen (14) days with two (2) renewals.

The PINES student PLAY card gives all Walton County students a special library card using their student ID with no late fees. These PLAY cards are funded by a generous grant from Georgia Public Library Service.  Find out more here!
