Vintage cameras up for sale
Calling all shutterbugs: The Friends of the Thunder Bay Public Library will be hosting a special vintage camera sale the weekend of March 14 at the County Fair Mall.
The equipment is donated by the Interactive Media Development program at Confederation College. The college says that while these items are no longer in use, they remain in good working condition and reflect years of hands-on learning by students in the program.
“We’ve been clearing out older camera equipment and knew there would be people out there who were still interested in using it,” said Orion Atkinson, IMD Program Coordinator at Confederation College. “Though it no longer fits our curriculum needs in the Interactive Media program, we’re happy to be donating this vintage equipment to a local charity and supporting the Thunder Bay Public Library.”
“Many of our students learned photography and videography on these analogue cameras and it’s great to think that they’ll get a new life with new owners.”
Here’s what will be on the block:
- Vintage SLR and DSLR cameras
- Video cameras and accessories
- Photography and video equipment
- Gently used books of all genres
All proceeds from the sale will go towards Thunder Bay Public Library programs and services.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the IMD Program for thinking of us,” said Fran Duke, President of the Friends of the Thunder Bay Public Library. “Raising funds to support the library is at the heart of what we do. This donation allows us to help this equipment find new homes while generating funds that directly benefit the library and the community.”
The camera sale will run alongside the popular $2 Tote Sale, where customers can fill a tote bag with gently used books for only $2.
