Annual Movie Donation Drive

 

 

 

You love movies. Who doesn’t? But we all have movies that, well, we know we’re never going to watch again. But just because it wasn’t your cup of tea, doesn’t mean that there might not be someone else who would love to see it.

So why not donate it to the Taos Public Library? Taos Public Library is holding its Annual DVD & Blu-Ray donation drive! During the month of February we will be gladly accepting all DVD & Blu-Ray donations. We cannot guarantee that we will add every movie donated into our collection, but nothing will go to waste.

And if you think there are any holes that need to be filled in our movie collection, please donate any films, television shows or documentaries you think the whole community might enjoy! Show your library a little love!
