It’s time to order new DVDs for Hagerty’s leisure collection. We want to be sure that what we order is what you want to see, so we’re asking for your help deciding what to get.

Here’s a list of some of the latest DVD releases. For each title, you can vote on whether we should get it or skip it. Titles with the most votes will be ordered for Hagerty’s Leisure DVD collection.

Vote now–the last day to vote is Monday, July 27th.

Need a movie today? Check out our catalog for DVDs already on Hagerty’s shelves.

It’s a long weekend. Hallelujah! Want to choose  your DVD before coming to the library to pick it up? Try this:

• From the library homepage, click the link that says “Advanced Keyword Search.”
• In the top search bar, enter a search term, like “action,” “animation,” or “Hindi.”
• To get a list of all Hagerty’s DVDs, enter an asterisk (*) into the search bar.
• Choose “Hagerty Leisure DVD” as the location.
• Hit search.

You’ll get a list of all the DVDs in our collection. When you find a title you like, click on it to make sure that the location says “Hagerty Leisure DVDs” and the status says “Available.”

That way, when you get to the library, you’ll know just what to grab. You can swing by and pick it up anytime. We’re here all day Saturday and Sunday–but we’re closed on Monday to celebrate our independence!

Have a great long weekend!

There are a lot of new DVDs on their way into Hagerty’s leisure collection, but we’re still planning on adding more. Take a look at our latest ballot of new DVD releases for the month of February. Make it known which ones you want to see added to the collection. DVDs with the most votes will be added to the next order.

Vote here. Polling ends Thursday, February 17th.

Want to see what we’ve got right now? Take a look!

Still not sure what you want to see? Come on down to Hagerty and look at our new display area. We’re showing off our new DVDs along with this month’s theme: romance. Our new DVD display area is right by the doors to the Bookmark Cafe. Check it out whenever you’re in the library. We’ll be updating the display every few weeks.

This is a big weekend–and maybe the last one in awhile that you won’t have to study. Enjoy it to its full potential and get some good movie watching in while you can.

We’ve just put up a table display of some of Hagerty’s best stuff from its DVD collection: Bollywood! Swing by the DVD collection behind the reference desk and find the best of the Bollywood–old and new. Can’t find what you want? We’ve got a suggestion box right there on the table. Tell us what you want and we just might get it!

There’s some great summer movies out right now. But with the high price of movie tickets these days, maybe you’d like to stick with the classics. Here at Drexel Libraries, they’re free with your ID card (as long as you return them on time).

Here’s what we’ve got that’ll match this summer’s movies any day:

Salt‘s gotten some pretty good reviews, but we’ve got many great spy movies in our Leisure DVD collections. How about a Hitchcock classic? Ever seen North by Northwest? It’s one of the best. Or maybe an Austin Powers flick for some ribald double entendre?

Seen Ramona and Beezus yet? What did you think? Sure, it’s for kids, but the Ramona books are for everybody–and they’re a great school time read. You can finish each one in a fun hour or two. Find them in Hagerty’s teen section on the lower level.

Inception will have your brain tied in knots, but so will Christopher Nolan’s other films, including the unforgettable mind-bender Memento.

Elizabeth Gilbert broke the bank this spring with her blockbuster book, Committed. Now there’s a new movie out based on her previous work, Eat, Pray, Love. Read them both before you see the movie. Then decide for yourself whether Julia Roberts makes the grade.

The Other Guys, Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg, are tearing things up in this summer’s cop buddy movie. Want something a little more serious? Try In the Heat of the Night with Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger. It’s  one of the original cop buddy movies–and it’ll get you thinking.

All these books and DVDs are available at the library–just pick them up while you’re here. You don’t even have to look up the showtimes. Better yet, enjoy them in the library. We’ve got AC!
