Once we get the VHS tapes un-cataloged, we will offer them for sale for 50 cents apiece. If you have a particular favorite title from our collection, let us know and we’ll save it for you.

We’re planning to replace a few of the most popular VHS titles with DVDs. If you have one of the following DVDs at home sitting on a shelf never getting watched, please consider donating it to the library. We would be very grateful.

  • Forrest Gump
  • A Civil Action
  • Back to the Future
  • Star Wars: A New Hope
  • Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
  • Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
