DVD Library

Don't forget about our DVD Lending Library!  For only $3 a disc, you can borrow it for a month of education in the comfort of your own home.  Our goal is to continue to weed out old/unused DVDs and purchase new ones for all to use.  So look for that, and possible mini fundraisers to be able to purchase more DVDs.  The new DVD Librarian is Beverly Messer.  Download the list:  2018_05_NMWS-SC DVDs.pdf
