This week, Heritage Quest goes on line at the library. Remote access isn't working yet, but it's coming too. In order to use it, you have to have a valid library card--or be a member of a reciprocating library with Omaha Public Library system. (That's Lincoln & Council Bluffs for sure...and other counties could probably talk to their county boards about negotiating to become reciprocal...although, no, it doesn't mean our genealogy collection will circulate.) If you don't have a reciprocal library card, you can get one for $20 for four months (covers everybody in the family) or $60 a year. Other library news: there's forty new census microfilms films in July-- (find your stuff on ancestry or other on-line source, then see if OPL has the reel to get a bigger copy large enough to read.) Georgia is now complete through 1880, and TX & GA are getting close to done through 1900. There were also some OK 1920 & 1930 films, and some MN 1930 (which brings MN real close to being complete through 1930, except for mainly Hennepin & Ramsey co's--Minneapolis/St Paul...and we're working on getting those.) These are all added because of donations. If you went to the library this spring and saw the new set of stacks they'd added: it's just about full, and the rest of the shelves aren't far behind it. Also, good news, from the looks of things, Sunday hours (4 hrs from 1-5) will be back in January with the new year. No parking fees on Saturday, Sunday or after five. Volunteers on Monday evenings, and sometimes at other times. Karen

My husband and I were in a terrible car crash on Monday morning. He did not survive. My injuries, though painful, are minor, and I will survive. I am going to unsubscribe shortly, as I have got to cut down on my number of incoming msgs. Thanks to all who have written to me and helped me in the past. When things settle down, I will subscribe again. Joyce Franke
