Recently, April S of the Toledo Public Library posted a blog story on Movies for Mother’s Day. I love how she reminiscences about watching movies every Sunday afternoon with her own mother.
More importantly, I like the idea of giving your mother time together watching a great flick rather than just buying her a DVD for this Mother’s Day. Not to mention that it’s a great way to promote Mother’s Day-worthy movies from a library’s perspective: don’t buy a movie; check one out from your local library and watch it with your mom.
Here are the movies for Mother’s Day that April S lists:
Please Don’t Eat the Daisies
Yours, Mine and Ours
The Blind Side
Terms of Endearment
Steel Magnolias
Mrs. Miniver
I thought I’d add to this list, and detail some great albums and audiobooks to enjoy with mom—maybe while on a road trip or while spring cleaning! Be sure to recommend these great listens to your patrons eager to enjoy this weekend with their moms.
