Published on 3rd July 2013
You've read the book, now you want to see the film. What to do? Well why not check the library catalogue online, you may well come up trumps!
Dublin City Libraries has a huge range of films and television series on DVD for you to choose from, PLUS you can can borrow several at any one time if your appetite so allows. The loan period for a DVD is three weeks. Further good news is that the loan period can be extended merely by renewing the item in person, by telephone, or online, providing it is not required by someone else.
All our branch libraries stock a range of DVDs. However, even if your branch does not stock your DVD of choice, you can reserve a copy held in another location and have it forwarded to your local branch. You will then be notified when it is ready for collection.
