Watch TV series on DVD at your own pace
Life seems so much busier these days and trying to watch The Killing (Danish version, of course) in a week is pretty nigh impossible. And customers have told us much the same. So we’ve listened and made a change. From Wednesday the 1st of August all our box set DVDs* will be issued for three weeks instead of one, just like our books. So now there are a lot more opportunities to watch your favourite TV series or in fact any of our other box sets DVDs. And there’s more good news – the price is staying the same at only $8 per box set. So why not take advantage of this change and take three or four box sets home with you next time you come to the library?
* Please note this change applies only to those DVDs labelled as Box Sets, listed in the catalogue as Box Sets and for which the loan charge is $8.
WCL has over 600,000 books, 450,000 magazines, and 85,000 CDs, DVDs, videos and other items at our central library and 11 branches. We are located in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. Looking for your local branch? Have a look at our 
That is really great!
Mmmhh… not sure about this. I agree with it’s almost impossible to watch a 20-hours series like “The Killing” in a week (even by watching two episodes daily as we did at home), but three weeks means that now we’ll have to wait a lot more to get hold of the next season! What I’m going to do in the meantime? Getting a life? Knitting a replica of Lund’s sweater, in both colours? Oh, dear…
Personally I would’ve preferred 2 weeks for the box sets for the sake of quick turnover, but I guess it’s simpler to keep the issue times consistent at 1 week for CDs, DVDs and bestsellers, and 3 weeks for books and DVD box sets.
