DVD & Blu-ray

Did you know you can borrow DVDs and blu-rays from the library for free?  We have movies for all ages, tastes and interests. 

The adult DVD collection has a broad range of titles, and includes:

• blockbusters
• mainstream feature films
• independent films
• classics
• Canadian films
• world language films
• selected TV series
• award winners
• teen appeal
• documentaries
• high-interest Informational topics  (wellness, painting, travel, performance, etc)

The children’s DVD collection consists of films created for a preschool or school-age audience, including a selection of:

• feature films
• popular children’s animated TV series and
• films adapted from  children’s picture books or based on children’s book characters
• high-interest informational topics (trucks, dinosaurs, animals, etc)
• award winners

DVDs in the regular collection may be reserved for pickup at any location through the holds system.  A Fastviews browsing collection provides additional copies of current, high-demand DVDs; these items are not holdable, and have a shorter loan period.

We are introducing a pilot collection of Fastview blu-rays in 2011.  Blu-rays last longer than DVDs, have a higher definition picture, excellent sound and added features.  They can be played on a blu-ray player or a Playstation 3 console.  This collection will include adult and children’s movies that are only being released on blu-ray, including Barney’s Version, as well as movies that have had enormous box office success, such as Tangled, True Grit, and The King’s Speech.  All blu-rays will be Fastviews, ensuring quick turnaround so more movies are available in your local branch as we build our collection.
