When can I bring in my materials to be converted?
Due to high patron demand we have implemented a queue system for format conversion. Patrons may sign up to be on the queue, and we will call or email you when you are up next to bring your materials in. We are limiting patrons to 10 tapes/reels/discs per session. If you have more to convert after this, you will be put back at the end of the queue.
