New DVDs Arriving All the Time

Our DVD collection is growing by leaps and bounds. Every week you should see a few new ones on the shelf. We will be getting not only popular new releases, but also some documentaries and award nominated films. In order to see what DVDs we have, you can go to the "advanced search" option in the catalog. Go to "location" and select "DVD Collection." Then you can just hit the search key without typing in any criteria and it will bring up all of the adult DVDs. If something that you want is checked out, you can put it on hold right there in the catalog or call the library and we can do it for you. Make sure to come on in and see all of our new additions!
