    3. Hello Everyone, I can’t thank Cynthia Turk enough and wanted to bring this to everyone’s attention. Last night Cynthia emailed me and mentioned she was surprised I didn’t have a Morley Library card to access Heritage Quest and the Sanborn Fire Maps. I’ve been to Morley Library some time ago but never needed a card being from out of town. But it got me thinking, a year or more ago someone posted online that if you were a resident of the State of Ohio you could apply online for a Columbus Metropolitan Library Card, it would be mailed to you and you could access a very large database including Heritage Quest with every census except 1850, a huge collection of newspaper articles, books and Sanborn maps and it’s all free. The online application doesn’t ask for a credit card number, or personal information. The card can’t be used to check out books in the Columbus area for that you have to bring the card in. Well lo and behold thanks to Cynthia’s email to me I dug around my computer desk drawer and there under paper clips, pens and the like was my Columbus Card I’d sent for so long ago and forgotten about. Here’s the website HYPERLINK "http://www.cml.lib.oh.us/"http://www.cml.lib.oh.us/ Simply click on the ‘about the library’ tab and go to ‘the library card’ They mail it to you and then just make sure you have someone like Cynthia email you to remind you that you have it.
