New Foreign Language DVD Collection

As past of our National Library Week celebration, we are introducing a new popular collection of foreign language DVDs made possible through a donation of the Phi Delta Sigma Honorary Alumnae Sorority in memory of Charlotte Price, former Director of the Language Lab.

This growing collection of DVDs includes a variety of film genres and languages. Please stop in, browse, and check out some of these new films. If you have suggestions for additional titles, please send them to me and we’ll grow the collection as funds permit.
