Encourage Library Patrons to “Do It Yourself” with These Videos

For public library patrons interested in trying out their own DIY projects, videos are a great place to start as they provide a much-needed visual component to learning how to perform an activity. Seeing a technique in motion can be easier to follow and understand than looking at a two-dimensional diagram in a manual. DIY videos can also inspire watchers to take on projects or techniques they otherwise wouldn’t have considered. They can offer a look at what works…as well as what doesn’t.  Access Video On Demand streaming video for public libraries features hundreds of home and how-to videos, including many for aspiring DIYers.
