Video & DVD Libraries

Video and DVD libraries are simply a collection of DVD’s and videos. Increasingly most libraries hold more DVD titles than video titles, as more new movies are released on DVD only.

DVD and video libraries can be established for a variety of purposes. They may be operated as commercial enterprises whereby members of the library pay a fee to borrow DVD’s and videos for a set period of time, and these libraries usually stock a wide range of movies, including new movies, documentaries and television series. Institutions such as schools, universities and local councils also set up DVD and video libraries for students and residents use, and are often less expensive to borrow from than independently established businesses.

Despite the fact that people are now able to watch movies online, DVD and video libraries are widely used, as they give families the ability to select and view a number of titles, allowing a few members of the family to watch different programs on different devices throughout the house; they are generally an affordable and easily accessible source of entertainment for the whole family. Many DVD and video libraries are open 7-days a week, until late in the evening.
