My library is very good about inter-library loans of (ONLY New York state) newspapers on microfilm. Unfortunately, I work 2 part time jobs and then have 2 kids & a husband who "demand" my attention at home - which leaves me little time to type :-( But I will make make copies for the first 10 people interested, if you will send me your snail address. To those interested - Email me privately at KATT516@aol.com Your preference of county & time period ( although I can't promise either, I will try) Send me your snail address of where to mail the copies. It will take about 2 weeks or so for the microfilm to arrive at my library. I would love to offer to do this for everyone, but time and mailing costs limit this to the first 10 people to respond.
