Missed the movie last week? Not to worry...you can stream it at home. Or...you can read the book! 🤓 Our staff took time to read it before seeing the movie and we highly recommend it. 📖 The Next Chapter Bookstore can help you out! ¿Te perdiste la película la semana pasada? No te preocupes... puedes verla en streaming en casa. ¡O puedes leer el libro! 🥰 Nuestro equipo se tomó el tiempo de leerlo antes de ver la película y te lo recomendamos muchísimo. 📚@thenextchapterhermiston puede ayudarte! #NoAddress #homeless #lifelonglearning #community
