As many Missoulians know, Crystal Video in downtown Missoula will be closing its doors after 23 years. The first owner of this Hip Strip institution, Jace Laakso, was recently quoted in the Missoula Independent saying "I'm really disappointed that it's come to this. It's a sad day for Missoula to lose such a great collection of foreign films and independents. But it's the economy."
Well, Missoula, you haven't lost all of that great collection of foreign films and independents. Three intrepid staff members were given the opportunity today to go through the Crystal Video DVD collection. We have purchased over 260 DVDs and are in the process of getting them ready to add to our collection.
A special Thank You to the Friends of Missoula Public Library for providing the funds to purchase the DVDs.
Adding 260 items to a catalog tends to take a bit of time. We hope to have these DVDs ready for checkout by mid-summer.
