Whether you’re graduating from kindergarten, eighth grade, high school, or college, staff members of four Volusia County Library branches want to give graduates a free green screen graduation photo. Staff will pose individuals in front of a green screen and let them choose from multiple appropriate backgrounds.

According to a release, Participants should dress formally and can bring along their cap and gown, wearing any color except green, so their clothes do not disappear into the background.

Green screen photography is a process that replaces a solid green background behind the subject using software images.

The library system's graduation photoshoots are scheduled at the following locations and times:
