    I don't believe we have that scheme here in my county,
    but we still offer one week rentals for DVDs at £1, brand
    new DVDs (within six weeks of release) at £2 for two nights
    and children's DVDs at 50p for a week. We also sell DVDs
    that have dropped in issue rates at £2.00 each. I'm awfully
    biased, working for the Library Service, but a library is one
    of the best places to rent or buy used DVDs! :)

    Oldham libraries rent all DVDs out for £1.55 a week.
    In these stricken times the public libraries are the cheapest place to get new books from (FREE).
    Use them or they'll be shut down.
