In addition to movies recently released on DVD like Beowulf, Into the Wild, and American Gangster, the Manchester City Library also has DVDs that you don’t often find in video stores. These are a fun way to find out about travel destinations you might be considering, home improvement projects that you need to master, or exercise programs you want to start. That’s not all you can learn about on DVD–here are just a few DVDs that the Library has recently added to its collection. DVDs and videos go out for 1 week and fines are $1.00 a day for overdues.
