(Get it? Check out the book/DVD, and check it out of the libr.... OK, we think you got it 😉)
Did you know that our ECA Library as a wall of borrowable DVDs that you can browse and capture a little of that old Blockbuster feeling? And that's not all it has. Just a 10-15 min walk from George Square why not explore and be inspired! 🔗 ed.ac.uk/information-service…
