If your library is anything like ours here in Yakima, WA we can access our libraries online site. Then we go to their online services and we find Heritage Quest and if at home we click onto "outside the library" but we can only get Heritage Quest this way not Ancestry. Through Heritage Quest we can get the census', PERSI, newspaper articles and books. At our library (city) and at our Family History Center they are connected to Ancestry but we have to go to either of them for that. I think the only way you can get to Ancestry from your home is to pay for their service or get one of their 14-day freebies. I have used this for the census' and finding books but nothing else.
