Troy Public Library Introduces New Video-on-Demand Service

 

(TROY, MI) – The Troy Public Library has added two new video-on-demand compilations to their offerings: the Hollywood Favorites & World Cinema collection and movies from Sony Pictures Entertainment.  These collections features award winning films, classic movies, and modern-day favorites. Among these are Kramer v. Kramer, On Golden Pond, The Old Man and the Sea, Taxi Driver, Bye Bye Birdie, It Happened One Night, and Jerry Maguire.

 

These titles will be added to their existing video-on-demand collection, which includes classic films, as well as popular PBS shows such as America’s Test Kitchen, Antiques Roadshow, and Rick Steves’ Europe.

 

These videos-on-demand are available to Troy Library cardholders through the MyLibraryDV service. To use MyLibraryDV, visit the Library Web site, www.libcoop.net/troy, and click on the MyLibraryDV icon. After installing the MyLibraryDV player, patrons will have access to all of the Library’s videos-on-demand.

 

With MyLibraryDV, up to 10 movies can be checked out at a time. Each title is checked out for seven days.  And because MyLibraryDV is an Internet service, there are no overdue fines! At the end of the checkout period, items are automatically deleted from the computer.

 

For more information regarding MyLibraryDV, e-mail John Robertson, Troy Public Library Technology Department, at j.robertson@troymi.gov or call 248-524-3548.

The Troy Public Library is located at 510 West Big Beaver Road.
