Collection protection
Due to irreplaceable value of the Local History Collection, use is restricted. Patrons may use two items (or one microfilm roll) from the collection at one time. Access requires a photo ID or a library card which will be kept at the reference desk with the items’ card until the items are returned. When materials are requested, staff will retrieve them.
