Oh, of course - silly me. I hadn't though about renting DVDs. We can do that here too, although the library is quite small, so there are not a lot of films. I think my mistake came from the fact that in French, we call a "bibliothèque" (library) the place you can read and borrow books, while a library that also has audio discs, DVDs and stuff like music sheets is called "une médiathèque" (basically, media library). Of course, now most libraries are "media libraries", but it's sort of ingrained in the mind. Oh, and in French "une librairie" is a bookshop. That's one of the little details that make learning foreign languages so confusing :o)
