Library Newsletter - November 2018
Watch DVDs in the Library
A portable DVD player is now available for use in the library. Ask for it at the circulation desk and then plug it in to a USB port on your laptop or a library computer. Headphones are necessary to view DVDs in the library and are available for checkout.
You can also view DVDs on a large screen in a study room. Bring your disc to the desk and we will set it up in a library DVD player connected to the study room.
