At the Richmond Public Library, you can always peruse the Latest Releases page on the library’s website, and now that we’ve moved back a phase to curbside pickup, you need a different way to browse the new book shelves. Even with online browsing, sometimes you want your options a little more … curated.
We can do that! The library is always adding great DVDs – new(ish), classics, overlooked gems – we have DVDs for every taste. Some recently acquired DVDs include:
