💻Digital Resource Staff Pick🍿

Erin's staff pick is Flow (Straume).
Flow is a dialogue free film about a black cat who joins with a secretary bird, a lemur, a capybara and a dog to survive a flood. When I learned there was no dialogue, I was skeptical. But, this film was lovely and captivating. I highly recommend it. It is available to stream on Kanopy, which is a free streaming app for Hutt City Library card holders. You can find this and other digital resources at https://hubs.huttcity.govt.nz/explore/digital-library/streaming-services
