 NETLS
Media Collection -- Great resource for
teachers
The
Northeast Texas Library System (NETLS) Media
Collection includes approximately 4,100
videocassettes and DVDs and over 600 die
cutting blocks available for free loan to
public libraries and, through those
libraries, to the patrons that they serve.
All DVDs and videocassettes have public
performance rights, so they are perfect for
day cares, church groups, schools, and
others. Materials must be booked by
library staff members only. To arrange
a booking, go to the NETLS
Media Collection Website, then just let
the Reference InterLibrary Loan staff book it
for you.
