A system for controlling an automated video cassette library apparatus is provided which is actuated in response to command signals originated by an individual at a location remote from such apparatus to transfer a select video cassette in a horizontal plane from a cassette shelf (22) to a cassette player (32) each of which is located in a compact housing (2). The apparatus is then ready for use by another individual who may select another video cassette for playing upon another video player (32) each of which is located in the same housing. The cassette player plays the video cassette and communicates the recorded program to the individual's television set. Upon completion of each play, the video cassette is rewound and automatically transferred from the cassette player to the cassette shelf (22).
