To use the Audio Production Studio, the Video Production Studio, or the Photo Studio, there are some additional steps. After the initial General Orientation, users must then attend a Studio Access Orientation so they get acquainted with the equipment and the operations of the studio. The orientation includes best practices for operating the equipment safely in order to avoid damages and misuse. After the Studio Access Orientation, there will be an Assessment for those who plan to book the studio. The Assessment will demonstrate proficiency in using the studio equipment. If proficiency is not met, Library staff reserves the right to refer users for further Studio Equipment Training. There are a limited number of sessions at no charge to Orange County Library cardholders for studio use. See O.C. Cardholders: Studio Access Table for further details.
