Many libraries have online catalogs that allow you to search through collections without leaving your home. Simply put an electronic hold on the movies you want and have them sent to the library branch closest to you. Your library will give you a notice when your movies are ready to be picked up and checked out. Simply watch them and make sure they are returned in time to avoid a penalty. But even a library charge won’t come close to paying the late fees that some video stores apply.
