They used to have whole TV show seasons in one case, for some reason they decided to give them a case per DVD. Many TV show seasons got lost this way. The book section now, I dont know how to put it. Often when I go in there books seem missing. Whole racks are empty. I dont know what happened to them nor do I bother to ask. Maybe people have turned to books now. I went up to request some DVDs once and they told me that they got someone new in charge. This person discourages new requests and from what Ive seen apparently decides what theyd like in the library. And yes, the budget there has been cut as well. Its all rather depressing really.

This is due to poor management in your library. My library has tons of DVDs and CDs available. If you return the DVD damaged you have to pay for it to be replaced. If you don't return it, same thing applies.
While they have no police force to make people pay for DVDs, if you have a fee outstanding on your account you can't take out anything else.
I obviously love books, but I also appreciate the DVDs my library makes available, even if we are #54 on the waitlist for Toy Story 3.
