New 7 day Check-Out for DVDs & Blu-rays 

DVD display

A big new change that we hope makes life a little easier for all our busy patrons and for those who have longer drives to visit the Library. 

 

Older titles, TV series, Non-fiction and Children's DVDs and Blu-rays now have 7 day check-out periods.  These items can also be renewed online (if you have a PIN) or by calling the Library. You can set a PIN on your card by stopping by the circulation desk at either branch and asking staff to put it on your record.

 

The number of each type of movie you can check-out has also changed...

 

New (2 night) DVD                        3 titles

New (2 night) Blu-ray                   3 titles

7 day DVD                                       5 titles

7 day Blu-ray                                  5 titles
