Movies for the holidays

It's almost the holiday break for many of you, and here in the library, we think you should give yourself a break from study and kick back with a movie or two.
Here's a sample of some of the films and TV shows the NMIT library network has available.

(If they are on loan or at another campus, they can be reserved and brought to your campus. If you're unsure how to do this, ask any of the library staff).
