To borrow a DVD from the Library, write down the DVD’s call number, as listed in the online catalog. Give the call number to a Library employee at the Circulation Desk, who will get the DVD for you.

TVs with DVD players are available in the Library to watch movies that are on reserve and therefore do not circulate.
