Thanks benjm, much appreciated but I doubt if there is a mediatheque with hundreds of miles of NW Missouri. What the hell is a mediatheque anyway? It sounds horrible.
It's a French neologism to describe a library (bibliothèque) which stocks videos and CDs and the like. Why the BFI has borrowed the word I don't know, although I suppose it's no worse than a Discovery Centre.
How strange, I had a conversation about mediatheques last night. Teesside University has had a Learning Resource Centre instead of a Library for a good fifteen years, mind, so I don't suppose it's a new notion as such.
