A number of audio cassettes and CD’s are available for the busy listener on the go. Over 200 CD’s covering contemporary, gospel, classical and children’s music are available for your listening pleasure.
Parkside Video Resource Library
A video resource library is available for use by other churches. Parkside Christian Church has volunteered to be the repository for this library and so requests for use of the tapes go through us.
These videos are available to churches, free-of-charge, on a first-come, first-served basis. All that we ask is that you cover the cost of mailing and handling.
The procedure for borrowing from the Greater Cincinnati Video Library will be:
- Email at pcc@parkside-cc.org or call the Parkside Christian Church office between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM at 231-9482 extension 26 to leave your request. Someone will contact you to confirm your request.
- We will mail the film to you several days in advance of your showing date.
After showing, return the film to us and enclose cash or check (made payable to Parkside Christian Church) for the postage fee.
- Continued borrowing privileges will depend on the payment of the postage fees and prompt return of video tapes.
Many videos are short-lived in their relevance as they become dated rather quickly. If you have videos in your church library that you have shown and have no further use for, why not donate them to the lending library so they can get maximum exposure before they become too dated? Send them along to us and we will include them on our list. Or, if you would rather mail them out yourself, give us the titles and we will tell people where they can be obtained.
