Libraries Beat Netflix, Redbox in DVD Rentals

Somebody better tell Nextflix and Redbox to step up their game, the old lady at the library is kicking their ass in DVD rentals. Wow, who knew libraries rented DVDs?

The nation’s public libraries are loaning more DVDs each day than Netflix rents to its by-mail subscribers. So says a new survey from the OCLC Online Computer Library Center, a nonprofit national library cooperative, which found that public library branches in the U.S. lend out a whopping 2.1 million DVDs a day, topping the two million discs rented daily by Netflix and the 1.4 million DVD rented each day by Redbox.
