Do you have a box of slides, negatives or old family photographs that are gathering dust? Would you like to be able to share them with friends and family? Make time to come into Rangiora Library and digitise your memories with our slide scanner. All you need to bring is your physical items (Slides, negatives or old photographs) and USB stick or portable hard drive (with a minimum of 32GB capacity). During your introductory one-to-one session, you'll be shown how to scan your physical items and then save them onto a portable hard drive. Bookings are essential for this service . Book your first session via our Book a Librarian form or contact us on 0800 965 542 or library@wmk.govt.nz
