The WRPS Library

The Western Reserve Photographic Society is proud to offer to its members a vast array of information on video tape. These tapes covers a wide spectrum of photographic interests, including everything from food photography to sports and action, and from dark room technique to the digital revolution.

In order to have these tapes available to as many of our members as possible, we have established the following borrowing guidelines:

  1. One tape per person each time.
  2. Each tape should be returned at the next club meeting.
  3. If, after two weeks, you are unable to attend the meeting, contact the librarian to make drop off arrangements.
  4. All tapes must be signed out with your name and telephone number.
  5. If a tape is lost, a replacement fee will be charged.
