Awhile back I had done a bit of searching on that topic as well and
discovered that the Exeter Library in Rhode Island and the Vernon Free
Library in Vermont http://www.vernonfreelibrary.org/vernon/libraryinfo.asp
have subscriptions to Netflix to supplement their collections. Patrons
request CD's, and the library orders it on their behalf. I think this
works well because of the small size of the libraries.
I know that Brooklyn Public Library had been trying to work out a formal
agreement with Netflix in early 2007 but I haven't heard anything more on
that other since.

[ARLIS-L] Media Collection and movie rental service Question
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has used a movie rental service such as netflix
as a way of temporarily augmenting a media collection? Occasionally our
library gets unusual film requests for items that we wouldn't ordinarily
collect. If so, what was the experience like and would you recommend it?
Thanks.
