We have the complete television series Seinfeld on DVD, with commentaries and other extras, available to check out from the FAMC.
To help you choose from among the 33 Seinfeld DVDs (they circulate individually), there’s a comprehensive description of the set here at DVD Talk. As of this writing only Season Four is checked out.
FAMC means “Fine Arts Materials Collection,” located at the main Circulation desk on the first floor. You can ask for anything with an “FAMC” or “FAMC-AV” call number there.
In anticipation of the original third floor renovation we have moved books, DVDs, etc. with Call Numbers U through Z to the second floor addition.
Oversize books have been moved to the Reference Alcove.
As always, if you cannot find what you are looking for please ask. We are happy to help.
Call numbers U-Z are relocated to the far size of the atrium, beside the indexes.
The farthest, or last bookcase on the left, is the National Union Catalog.
As you move to the right you will find the Zs, then Vs, and the Us.
After the Us are the indexes, the Georgia legal collection, and the legal collection.
The Oversize book are in the Reference Alcove, located behind and to the right of the Reference Desk (as you are facing the desk).
The first several bookcases are reference books. The bookcases towards the back, with books set on top of them, hold the Oversize books.
Most of our Charlaine Harris books (the ones about Sookie Stackhouse) are checked out at the moment, but we can recommend:
Classics from Polidori, Le Fanu, and Stoker in Three Vampire Tales
Vittorio, the Vampire from Anne Rice, pioneer of the modern gothic vampire tale
Jeanne Kalogridis’ Covenant with the Vampire: the Diaries of the Family Dracul, according to Library Journal “erotic and gory enough for any vampire fan.”
“The lips which will be markedly full and red are drawn back from the teeth which gleam long, sharp as razors, and ivory white.”
–Montague Summers in The Vampire, His Kith and Kind (1928)
