I am sending this to several list so some of you will get it more than once. I was sent this from a friend in TN. It sounds like good news to me. Ann The news last week was the NGS inter-library collection will be coming to the St. Louis County Library in Frontenac and will be available probably in January 2002. It includes 20,000 books, maps, family histories, etc, worth about $1M. Thanks to Curt Wichter, Ann Fleming, and the St. Louis County Library system for arranging St. Louis as the collection's new home, and many thanks to Julius Hunter for arranging the free transportation of the collection. The collection is coming from the NGS Library in Virginia, and is a 98-year collection. Items can be inter-library loaned from St. Louis County to your local library after it is catalogued and on the shelves. Of course, this same library partnered with LDS last year, and the LDS microfilms can all be ordered from St. Louis County Headquarter's Special Collections location. It takes a lot of hard work and caring and St. Louis really has what it takes! Barb Diehl
