Microfilm Reader Fund Aids Local Greene Records
Fred Hawker has made Greene Records microfilm from 1876 to 1901 available at the library. To enable access a microfilm reader costing 70.00 is needed, with hours for reading local history. Donations may be left with Dale Schroeder at the First State Bank to fund the reader, plus more years will be filmed. The library also reports new books for all ages and a music LP selection. Questions welcome at 8235642.
