The MGM Library
Currently, the Turner Entertainment Co. unit of Time Warner owns the rights to nearly all of the pre-May 1986 MGM film and television library, with Warner Bros. handling distribution. Turner acquired the MGM library during its brief ownership of the company in 1986. For some time after the sale, MGM continued to handle home video distribution of its films; those rights were reassigned to Warner Home Video in 1999.
Through its purchases of many different companies and film and television libraries, MGM has greatly enhanced its film and TV holdings.
In 2012, UK company Park Circus assumed worldwide re-issue distribution rights to the library on behalf of MGM.

Famous quotes containing the word library:
“I view askance a book that remains undisturbed for a year. Oughtn’t it to have a ticket of leave? I think I may safely say no book in my library remains unopened a year at a time, except my own works and Tennyson’s.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
