DVDs @ your library

For the first ten months of 2011 we have loaned our customers more than 16,000 DVDs, which is a 9% increase from last year.  The DVD collection began as a donation initiative to help establish a core collection.  We asked every patron, resident and business to consider donating one DVD  and to date we have received 1,782 DVDs.  Some donated movies are popular duplicates and some titles brand new to the library collection.

We continue to welcome DVD donations and with additional budget and grant support are actively adding titles to the collection.  500 movies are taken home weekly or about 70 DVDs check out each day, so we know the DVD collection is becoming very popular.

I thank our many library friends, scouts, seniors, families, organizations and businesses who have donated a DVD to the library.  Your generosity is appreciated and the above statistics tell the story.  Our library (and community) has much to be thankful for!
