‘Treasure trove’ of 5,500 films will be made accessible by Halifax Public Libraries

Thousands of hard-to-find films will be saved for the public as an iconic rental store gets set to close. 

Halifax Public Libraries and Dalhousie University said Tuesday they will buy the films from Halifax’s Video Difference.

“To have parts of that collection live on and be available for the public is really part of the lasting legacy of Video Difference,” Halifax Public Libraries chief librarian and CEO Asa Kachan said in an interview.
