The library has a new gadget available for check-out and you are going to love it!  It is the Flip video camera.   Right out of the box, it was easy to setup and work and I was shooting video within a few minutes.

What is so special about this camera?

• No tapes to purchase.
• Simple to operate because it only has a few feature buttons.
• No need for a power adapter because it uses 2 AA batteris.
• No computer cable is needed because a USB plug is hidden on the side of the camera that “flips” out when you need it.
• Comes with built in software to help you produce your videos.
• Small enough to fit in your pocket.
