The last disc will be shipped on September 29th 2023 after 25 years of service.

After an incredible 25 year run, we've made the difficult decision to wind down at the end of September. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members, but as the DVD business continues to shrink, that's going to become increasingly difficult. Making 2023 our Final Season allows us to maintain our quality of service through the last day and go out on a high note.

@Kramgr @user224 I love getting DVDs from the library. With streaming services, I constantly worry that I’m wasting my money when I’m not constantly using them, but borrowing from the library removes that anxiety while still having access to movies from several different studios.
