We are in the process of   changing our DVD television series.  They are now packaged as individual discs for each season.   We are changing them so that one season is combined into one case.  Before you could check out 6 separate DVD’S.  Now you will be able to only check out one DVD case, with 6 DVD’S inside.  The library’s policy is that an individual can check out 6 DVD’S per card.  The policy has not changed.  Six different cases is not considered 6 discs, it is the actual number of discs that will be counted.  When you check out a series with 6 discs in it that will be your   maxium check out limit for DVD’S.

“Bookstores and libraries have long played a central role in fostering a deeper appreciation of knowledge, and in lifelong learning. Increasingly, these places are also filling another critical need in our communities, by providing a haven for those seeking a communal connection in an ever-more isolated world.”  Come check us out!   We will be glad to help you any way we can.

With this stirring biographical history, Orlean follows up her bestselling The Orchid Thief with another tale of passion and dedication overcoming adversity and even common sense-this one centering on Rin Tin Tin, the German shepherd who founded a film and TV dynasty. After spending a lonely childhood in an orphanage, the young soldier Lee Duncan discovers on the battlefield of WWI France the puppy that will make a name for him as one of Hollywood’s top dog trainers, and become his life’s guiding purpose. The book follows Rin Tin Tin’s trajectory from early Hollywood’s “Poverty Row,” where Duncan sought the dog’s first film deal, to international celebrity in silent films, radio shows, and TV programs. Though Rin Tin Tin’s contracts began to lapse in later years, Duncan never ceased grooming canine successors and shopping around scripts, and producer Bert Leonard lived on friends’ couches as he poured money into colorizing old episodes of The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. Orlean directs a sympathetic gaze toward these men so haunted by their memories of the dog that swept them into stardom. Even readers coming to Rin Tin Tin for the first time will find it difficult to refrain from joining Duncan in his hope that Rin Tin Tin’s legacy will “go on forever.”
