Libraries Have DVDs Online

Movie lovers already know that the local library is a place where they can check out videos free of charge. Now, some libraries are now making it even easier to do so by offering an online video service. It allows patrons to download videos onto their computer without driving to the library and without waiting for other patrons to return copies of the most popular titles.

The service, called MyLibrarydv, offers hundreds of videos ranging from popular Hollywood movies to nonfiction titles in categories such as cooking, medicine, travel and antiques. Green Tree Public Library has offered the service since May, and Mt. Lebanon Public Library has offered it since 2007.

Mt. Lebanon Library Director Cynthia Richey said 59 people have downloaded videos from the service in the last five months. She expects that number to increase as more patrons become aware of it.
