How many did you say?

How many DVDS can I take out at one time?

This may be our most popular question! Library card holders are allowed to take out 6 DVDS. DVDS can be checked out for three days.

Where are your nonfiction DVDS?

Our nonfiction DVD collection is located to the left of the public use computers, right near the copy machine. If you need help finding a specific title please ask one of the librarians for assistance.

Our Foreign Films are located near the magazines in the back of the library.

If I am late returning a movie, what are the fines charged?

Fines for late DVDS are $1.00 per day. Remember if the library is closed, DVDS can be dropped in the book drop box located in front of the library building.

How can I find a list of new DVDS?

To make it easier for the public to locate new movies, white stickers that say "NEW" are on the DVDS. A list of new movies will appear on the front of the DVD display case.

Can I request that a movie be held for me?

No, you can only request a DVD from another library if it is a title that we do not own.

What if I am looking for something specific?

Check www.alisweb.org or ask a librarian!
