Hi Bill, You may visit the library's web site at http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/ . There you will find an online catalog which you may search to see books that are available at the libary. Just enter the location, such as California, and then click to search. Unfortunately, the vast microfilmed resources collection is not yet included in the online catalog. The microfilm collection includes all available U.S. census, city directories, vital records for many locations, histories, maps, etc. See the page at http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/whoweare.html The historical genealogy collection, however, is a closed collection, which means the materials may not be checked out.
