Cannell Library received 70+ Spanish language videos as a part of a grant. Like all of our DVDs, they check out for 6 days and you can have up to 3 checked out at a time. They interfiled with the rest of the DVD collection by topic. You are welcome to browse the whole DVD section but there is a simpler way to see them all — and read a quick blurb about each.

 

Strategy 1:

Type “Spanish language films” into the library catalog search box on the library website and press “Search”. This will bring up a list of all our Spanish films in alphabetical order.
