New DVDs: Tuesday, June 29

The Macedon Public Library is fully open for in-person visits. Computers are available and the Discovery Room is also open. We ask patrons who are not yet vaccinated to please wear masks, but we will not be monitoring this. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet outside the library.

Here are a few more of the new DVDs we’ve received lately:

Godzilla vs. Kong

An ancient rivalry is rekindled when a Hollow Earth scholar receives private funding and wants to use Kong to discover the origin of the Titans. Protected inside a biodome since his discovery in the 70s, Kong was the only kaiju who did not participate in the epic battle against King Gidorah, and Godzilla is determined to become the final apex predator. Meanwhile, the humans begin to suspect that everyone involved is being manipulated by an industry tycoon with a vested interest in the Titans killing each other off. Library has Blu-ray and regular editions.
