History:
The Kayak Chapter Video Library was conceived in 1984 by a handful of interested KCKA/Kayak Chapter paddlers in the Manhattan, KS area, including Rex Replogle & T.J. Hittle, American Red Cross kayak instructors from 1979-1995. For purposes of documenting and disseminating instructional paddling and river running information, preserving club river trips, maintaining a library of commercial-made river running videos, and promoting the Paddlesport, the accumulation of 1/2" VHS video tapes began.
The collection is ever changing and contains nearly 80 video tapes featuring hundreds of hours of paddling endeavors, instructional tapes, workshops, and various made for TV films. The collection exists to serve club members only and is not for rent commercially. A nominal donation plus shipping costs (one-way) is requested to replace tapes and to augment the library. A great many of our tapes were donations. Donations of paddling videos are greatly appreciated.
POLICY:
Our check out procedure:
1) Contact the Librarian and reserve your video(s) by mail, phone or E-mail. KCKA Members only
2) Handling & shipping: $5.00@ +Donation: $5.00@ = Total $10.00@
