Welcome to the Audio Visual Room

 …or as we lovingly call it, the AV Room.  It is the first room to the left when you enter the main Library, and is sometimes mistaken for a bank because of the signage right above the desk.  If you are looking for music, movies, audio books, and AV holds, this is the place!

There are over 12,000 CDs in our music collection, ranging from Blues to Classical, from Country to Rap/ Hip-Hop. The CDs are shelved according to the Call Number, either by genre or Dewey Decimal system, and within each of that they are arranged in alphabetical order by artist.  You may check out up to 10 CDs for 3 weeks.

As for movies, there are over 6,000 DVDs - feature films (arranged in alphabetical order by title) and documentaries (arranged by the Dewey Decimal System). Feature films have a loan period of 7 days for $1.00. This collection includes foreign language films, TV series, BBC films, black and white films, and even a few silent movies. Documentaries circulate for 21 days and are free of charge.  If you have a VCR player, there are still videotapes available.   

Audio Books, of which there are over 4,000 items, are available on CD, cassette, and Playaway formats. Playaways are preloaded cassette players that only require you to supply your own headset and one AAA battery. All of these materials can be checked out for 21 days, free of charge.

When a hold on one of the above mentioned materials becomes available for you, this is where you will find it, shelved under your last name.

And last but not least, the AV room has it’s very own check out counter, right across from the desk.
