Digitize Your Memories: Video Edition

Do you have old home movies that you’d like to save on DVD for a new generation to enjoy?  The New Glarus Public Library can help with that!  During the week of May 14th, they will have video digitizing equipment on loan from SCLS.  You may sign up to bring in your old home movies on VHS or Camcorder tapes, and library staff will convert them to DVD for you.  Because videos are converted in real time, they are limiting patrons to six hours of video for the week.  If there is enough demand for the equipment, they will borrow it again later this year.
