  part of the Library's holdings for over 55 years. Its first films were pa

 ore there was a county library. When MDPLS was formed\, the County supplem
 ented its local funding for films with Federal LSCA grants (Library Servic

  purchased for free exhibition for the life of the print. Subjects within 
 the collection include experimental/avant-garde art films\, non-narrated f

 story. Today\, there are over 4\,000 films within the collection.</p>\n<p>
