The Scranton Public Library offers a service for patrons to have VHS tapes, 8mm reel film, slides, photographs, and other analog media converted to a digital format. This service is handled completely in-house: patrons drop off their media along with a USB flash drive for us to store the digital files on, and the conversion process is completed typically in 1-2 weeks using equipment that is only available to staff. Patrons should schedule an appointment before dropping off their materials as their signature is required to complete the conversion. Please note that we are unable to convert any copywritten material, including feature films or television programs. You can view our policy regarding media digitization and the release form here.
Pricing for conversion is as follows:
VHS tapes: $3 per 2 hours of recorded material
8mm film: $4 per each 3-inch reel
Slides & Photographs: 15 cents each
USB flash drives for storage can be purchased at an additional cost.
Please contact ggerega@albright.org or 570-348-3000 x 3008 with any questions or for additional information.
In collaboration with the Makerspace, the Scranton Public Library offers a 3D printing service. For a small cost, patrons may submit files to be printed using our machine. We are not currently able to design or model files from scratch. Patrons should locate any file they are interested in printing online and submit it for printing after completing the Makerspace request form. Print jobs are limited to the constraints of our printer, our ability to open and process submitted files, and the availability of filament stocked in the Makerspace.
For more information and our pricing structure, view our 3D Printing Policy.
Currently available filament colors: Black, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Charcoal, Lavender, Transparent.
