Here are some great new additions on the shelves this week for younger borrowers: The Muppets is the hilarious new Movie from Walt Disney Studios ; the first Muppets theatrical release in 12 years. The film is directed by James Bobin and stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper and Rashida Jones. While on vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary, and friend Mary uncover the diabolical plot of a greedy oil millionaire to destroy the Muppet Theatre. Now, the Muppet-loving trio must reunite Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and their friends to stage the greatest Muppet telethon ever and save their beloved theatre. With an all-star celebrity cast, this is a very entertaining adventure for the whole family. The Hunger Games Trilogy is the best selling series written by American author Suzanne Collins. In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see. Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps in to take her place in the Hunger Games. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love. Totally unputdownable, this series is a must for any young adult's bookshelf. The trilogy is set to find a whole new legion of fans with the release of the Gary Ross-directed film, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson, so now is the perfect time to immerse yourself in these action-packed adventures.

It is open from 10.00am until 6.00pm Monday to Friday and from 10.00am until 2.00pm on Saturday. ENDS .
