Introduction of videos to West Sussex

Wendy in Bib Services and I chose which videotapes would be part of the first collection offered by West Sussex Libraries in 1989. We were instructed to choose informative and educational titles rather than feature films because we were not going to compete with high street rental stores. At the time, I was an Assistant Librarian at Worthing Library, in the first year of working in a professional post. I remember being photographed for the local paper holding a video case when the pilot collection launched.
