Plainfield police confiscated more than 3,100 counterfeit/pirated DVDs that were being sold at the Route 30 Plex flea market Saturday.

Additionally, some patrons have asked for longer checkout periods, she said. The longer loan period may also reduce overdue fines. "Two weeks is pretty standard in our shared catalog system so we had always thought we would just keep it," she said.
