Library of Things

The Elgato video device allows patrons to convert VHS tapes to digital format. The Elgato requires a free software download and is compatible with both Macs and PCs. Patrons must have a VCR  at home in order to convert the tapes. The Makerspace may also be reserved to convert VHS tapes using the Library’s VCR.

The Library has 3 Chromebooks available for 2 week check out. Chromebooks have a guest account that patrons can use to log in and browse the Internet.
