      History


      Midwest Tape LLC was founded in 1989 and is located in Holland, Ohio. Its origins trace back to 1983 in which, John Eldred, the owner of a video rental store "Sights and Sounds" in Toledo, Ohio, was encouraged by a customer to sell used VHS tapes to public libraries. Subsequently, selling VHS tapes to public libraries became a significant part of the "Sights and Sounds" business. Then, in 1989, John Eldred founded Midwest Tape to specifically serve the public library market.
