Fine Print -Summer 2002 Volume XIII Number 2 DVD Grant Grants this year from the Appleton Library Foundation will significantly enhance the library's DVD collection. They will create a children's DVD collection, add anime, or Japanese animation, films to the adult collection, and provide great depth in the collection of adult classic films. For the first time the Appleton Public Library will have a Children's DVD collection. It will consist of popular movies, films featuring characters like the Teletubbies and Winnie the Pooh, and Disney titles. Many of the anime films were television series in Japan. Popular titles include Cowboy Bebop and Gundam Wing. The most popular title purchased was Princess Mononoke, a film written by Hayao Miyazaki. The library has also purchased the graphic novels (comic books) of many of the anime titles. A significant number of DVD titles produced by the Criterion Company were purchased to enhance the adult classic film collection. Criterion bought licensing rights to classic and out of print films and reprocessed them onto DVD. Titles purchased include Fellini's 8 ½, Ingmar Bergman's Cries and Whispers, and the 1969 Rolling Stones concert Gimme Shelter. DVDs check out of the library for one week. There is a 50 cent a day fine for overdue DVDs. |
