As of January, 2007 most brand new feature films and television shows on DVD
  will no longer be sent to the Flint Memorial Library from other MVLC libraries.  Likewise
  the Flint Memorial Library will no longer be shipping its new feature films and television
  show to other  MVLC libraries. The titles will become available after six months from the 
  date on which  they were added.  You will be able to place holds and pick up the titles 
  here.  You will  also be able to places holds and pick up the titles at the owning library.

  This change is part of an effort to increase efficiency in the Interlibrary loan delivery
  service.
