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.
