These videos are all available for viewing on your own, or you can arrange to have one of our staff members available for questions and discussion. We do ask that you pick up and return the videos in person rather than by campus mail (to avoid loss or damage). You can pick up the video(s) the day before showing and return them the day after showing.

To set up a time for you to stop by for video viewing or to request a complete list of books/videos, please call us at 263-2987 or email us.
