Although the first calendar day of summer was not long ago, it is fair to say that the season is in full swing. Just as beaches, vacations, and the occasional sunburn are staples of summer, so are the highly anticipated summer blockbusters. It is a time for action, comedy, and adventure to draw in the crowds. However, if you want to see fantastic films without battling a crowd, the Music & Media Collections at the St. Thomas O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library is the place to be.

In the form of both physical DVD copies and thousands of online streaming options, now is your opportunity to catch up on the summer blockbusters you might have missed. These are only a few of the great films, documentaries, and TV series the Music & Media Collections has to offer all summer long.
