Video/Audio Conversion Equipment

The library has conversion equipment available to convert the following formats to digital file or DVD:

• VHS / VHS-C
• Digital 8/ Video 8/ Hi 8
• 8mm / Super 8

Equipment is also available for converting audio cassette to MP3 format.

Access to conversion equipment is free, but conversion must be performed by patrons. Instruction on the use of the equipment is available by appointment on Tuesdays. Please call or speak with someone at the front desk if you'd like to schedule an appointment for instruction.


In order for the conversion equipment to convert media, it must play the media in full, so be prepared to set aside adequate time for the conversion.

Please call ahead to confirm that equipment is not already in use.
