You might try taking them to a "friendly" computer store, buy a thumb drive (so you've spent money there) and ask to "borrow" a display unit with floppy to do your copy.

Good idea and if you have one or two that give a "read error" then you might try Norton Disk doctor to try and correct the data on the floppies before moving the info over to the USB drive.
