One of our readers pointed out a story in The New Mexican's new Sunday magazine entitled 'Requiem for the Videocassette', a combination of sentiment and statistics reproduced from the Washington Post.
Although we don't buy VHS titles anymore, we continue to add desirable titles when they turn up in the donations, and they are still in high demand by local library users. We still have about 4600 VHS tapes in the collection, and so far this year they've circulated about 16,000 times (or about 3.5 times each).
The lists of media materials--DVDs, videocassettes, books on CD and cassette--have just been updated and are available from the catalog.
Some of the recently donated VHS tapes include Guitar Lessons ; the Jimmy Stewart features Made For Each Other and Pot of Gold; the dog training video, Leashless; Il barbiere di Siviglia ; the film Kate & Leopold; and many more. Alas, no cover images available.
