Library Movies and DVDs
Should public libraries charge for the rental of movies and DVDs?
Check out the debate: Libraries increase DVDs stacks, add fees for movie watchers.
Now are some people just chosing to be cheap…and not renting elsewhere, taking away from the public’s right to free educational and entertaining resources of those who can NOT afford the luxury of movie rentals?
As a movie renter, I honestly do not turn to the library for New Releases…hence, I do not expect or want public libraries to start actively carrying them…just to cater to a movie frenzy and spending dollars I’d rather see them spend on educational materials for my homeschool girls, and the general public at large.
I grew up utilizing the vast educational resources of the public libraries and raising my girls the same way.
No doubt, I don’t just rent educational videos and DVDs. We get Disney full-featured films too…so, there is a place of entertaining videos…as books are the source of creativity, the arts and where true entertainment lies in the imagination of our own minds.
Please, let’s invest wisely.
