Audiobooks and other Non-Print Materials



All of the library's Audiobooks, DVDs, and CDs are in the same location, to the left of the front desk.

The CDs are up against the well, assorted and organized according to genre of music (country, jazz, musicals, etc.). Each CD label will have both the type of genre as well as the artist's name.

The DVD collection spans three revolving shelves, and each individual DVD is also labeled by genre and name of film.

The Audiobooks are located on two separate shelves in this area, directly between the CDs and DVDs. Fiction and non-fiction titles are mixed together, and the labels specify either fiction or non-fiction as well as the author's last name. This collection is sorted alphabetically.

The CDs may be checked out for a three week period, and only 5 items per library card may be checked out at a time. The DVDs may be checked out on a weekly basis and only 2 per card.
