The Semans Library announces the launch of more than 100 new PBS videos available now through the NC LIVE Video Collection website, including the complete 14-part award-winning Civil Rights Era documentary, Eyes on the Prize.  The new videos also include the popular Ken Burns’ series The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, and Masterpiece Theater titles including Wuthering Heights, Turn of the Screw, Wind in the Willows, Anna Karenina, and many more. Patrons can watch these videos at http://media.nclive.org.

In addition to the nearly 100 new PBS videos added, NC LIVE is also making available a collection of local oral history documentaries produced in Wilkes County, NC. Previously only available to watch on DVD in the library at Wilkes Community College, these high-quality documentaries about the people of Wilkes County are now available to watch in your home or classroom, anytime. The videos were created by the Save Our Wilkes County History Committee to document, explore, and preserve the county’s past.
