Make Your Own Media

Holiday Closures: We will be closed for Memoral Day, May 27,2013.

In this era of corporate media and fewer local media outlets, having access to a media center where you can create your own media is important.  Even though there is an abundance of social media sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, people forget that not everyone has access to the tools and skills to produce media and use the power of those sites effectively. This is why community media centers exist.
