Our public libraries offer a Netflix-like service to reserve DVDs and music!

• Search the NY Public Library to reserve a DVD by searching “Title (Alphabetical)” for the easiest results. When it is available, you can have it mailed to your home or receive an email or a call. You must have a NY Public Library card (not from other boros) to take advantage of this.
• Reserve music or DVDs at the Queens Public Library. The site can tell you where the requested item is available and you can pick it up or transfer it to your location. You must have a Queens Library card (not from other boroughs) to take advantage of this.
• OR you can turn on channel 1008 for Free Movies on Demand if you have Time Warner Cable.
