Video Resources:
Below is a list of videos available for borrowing only by Pennsylvania residents through a county extension office. To find your county extension office contact information, go to the county directory and select your county. Videos will be distributed only through the weekly county extension mailing from the Publications Distribution Center. Non-extension borrowers will have to drop by the extension office to pick the video up or make other arrangements with the extension office.

Since we have only a single copy of most videos, the mail doesn’t always move as quickly as we want, and we may be temporarily out of the office, it will be best to order your videos well in advance of actual use.

A return addressed envelope for returning videos to the ASH program will be included. Borrowers must pay the return postage. If you have questions about ordering or to check for video availability, email ASHNews@psu.edu or call 814-865-9966.
