Have you ever just wanted to see a list of the movies available at the Chatfield Public Library? Well, now you can!! Just click on the word “Movies” in the black menu bar near the top of this site. You can then click on Adult/Family DVD, Youth DVD, Adult/Family VHS, or Youth VHS to get lists. Once you see these lists, you can then click on any title and you will be taken to that title in the online catalog where you can place a request on it. This list will automatically update as titles are added and removed. (This is the main reason we have not had printed lists available — they become outdated almost as soon as they are printed!)
Doesn’t a free movie sound good about now? Go check it out!
