Staff Picks: Stream it on AADL.org
by emjane
Scoot over, Netflix, there’s another streaming option! Did you know that there is a wide assortment of streaming content available to you via your aadl.org catalog? You can browse the whole collection of more than 13,000 videos, or check out some recommended picks below:
Nature Documentaries
There are nature documentary series aplenty available to stream. Why not check out the classic Planet Earth? Or Blue Planet? Frozen Planet? (We’ve got a lot of Planet content!) Only have a little pocket of time but want some cuteness? We’ve got you covered with Andy’s Baby Animals.
PBS Docuseries
Imagine rather than having to wait for your favorite series to air on PBS, you could just pull them up via your local library catalog? No need to imagine, it’s your reality! Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. is always intriguing, and I’m a huge fan of the science and history explored in NOVA. Or if you’re feeling some bookish content, why not watch The Great American Read. And you can’t go wrong with episodes of American Experience!
BBC Classics
Curl up with a book – erm film adaptation of a book – with any of these BBC literary classics! David Copperfield | Emma | Great Expectations |Jane Eyre | Little Dorrit | Oliver Twist |Pride and Prejudice | Sense & Sensibility (and many more!)
HBO Content
Heard great things about Chernobyl? What about that 2-part George Carlin documentary that came out earlier this year? Oprah’s adaptation of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks? All available to stream, no HBO subscription required!
And there’s so much more! BBC’S Horrible Histories and Live at the Apollo, Ken Burns’ Baseball, History Channel’s Modern Marvels, A&E’s Biography – a little something for everyone!
