It's the non-feature films. The biographies, the how-tos, the exercise dvds. Though they are ignored because they are not popular movies, don't pass them by! You never know what you'll find over in the non-fiction dvds.
First, where are they? Well, walk through the library past the circulation desk towards the entrance to the children's library. Before you enter the children's library, look to the right. There are the non-fiction dvds! They are marked with a blue sticker, as opposed to the red sticker marking the feature films.
They follow the dewey decimal system, same as non-fiction books. So look in the 500's for nature films, the 600's for yoga workouts, the 700's for sports instruction, and so on.
Give it a try! Learn something new! Get help with something, such as wedding planning or improving your golf swing.
Here are some of my favorites, and where to find them:
America the Beautiful, 791.6 America. documentary on the ugly truth behind the fashion and beauty industries.
Colonial House, 974.102 Colonial. PBS historical reality show tells the story of modern people going back in time to live in the 1600s.
The Eleanor Roosevelt Story, 92 Roosevelt. biography.
Elle Glam Fitness: Total Toning Workout, 613.712 Elle. Easy-to-follow yet challenging exercise routines.
Martha's Summer Favorites, 392.37 Martha. Martha Stewart teaches viewers how to prepare summer dishes and be creative with projects.
Paperclips, 940.5318 Paper. Documentary on students who collected paperclips to memorialize the victims of the Holocaust.
Happy watching!
