We recommend saving your recordings via USB but you can also save your work directly to your laptop via an HDMI cable or to a micro SD card. The Ocean County College Library does not provide any equipment to save your work, you must bring your own equipment in order to save it.

Yes!
However, walk-ins are subject to availability. It is highly recommended to book a session in advance.
