Netflix doesn't have enough children's educational videos

Thieves have stolen half of the Gwinnett County (Georgia) public library system's DVD collection, so they are considering discontinuing lending DVDs. They are searching for inexpensive ways to keep the DVDs secure, with limited staff and storage space.

The people who are being hurt the most are homeschoolers, who rely on the library for access to educational videos they use as part of their children's schooling. Says one library patron, "Denise Varenhorst, a Suwanee mother who home-schools her children, said the library’s decision had thrown a wrench into some of her curriculum plans. She wanted to show her 10-year-old daughter, Ivy, a movie about Florence Nightingale, but said Blockbuster and Netflix do not carry most of the educational videos she wants to share with her children."
