LOCATION
The Audio Visual Department at the Thomas Library is located on the west side of
the building on the second floor. The Hageman Library only has audio visual collections for children and the
items are shelved in the Children's area.
DVD's AND VIDEOS
The library has thousands of feature movies for your viewing pleasure. We don't
try to compete with commercial video stores by purchasing large numbers of copies of the most recent releases,
but we do attempt to develop a broad collection of movies from the past and present. Feature films are shelved
alphabetically by title. The library also maintains a nice selection of nonfiction and instructional titles
that are shelved according to the Dewey Decimal system.
AUDIO COMPACT DISC
The library's compact discs are among our most popular items. We have popular,
classical, folk, holiday, country and jazz music in abundance.
AUDIO BOOKS ON CD
Commuters, vacationers, and many of our other patrons have discovered the joys of
listening to our audio books on compact disc. We attempt to collect unabridged editions whenever possible.
Titles include both fiction and nonfiction works.
MP3's
Our new MP3 Players circulate just like our other audio visual
items and are unabridged recordings of many popular books. We don't circulate headphones or earbuds with the
players for sanitary reasons, borrowers must provide their own. Batteries are
included!
RESERVES AND RENEWALS
Our audio materials (compact discs) can be reserved and held
for you. Videos are only available on a first-come first serve basis and may not be renewed.
SPECIAL LOANS
Going on vacation? Ask about an extended loan for those audio items. We will also
hold items for a reasonable amount of time for teachers.
DOWNLOAD AUDIO BOOKS
The library subscribes to a service offered by NetLibrary that
allows our resident patrons to select from over 2,100 audio books and to download the files to their home
computer. It may also be possible for a patron to transfer the files to a portable MP3 player if the device is
compatible
