Hi, Guess I will add my two cents to this discussion. I live in Harborcreek (Erie) Pa, so not too far from Meadville. Have gone there many times for research. They do a wonderful job there, but I think they could use more space. I volunteer once a week at the Heritage Room in the beautiful new Blasco (Erie Co. Public) Library. We have a very large section, formerly staffed by just volunteers, now they have a librarian in addition to volunteers. It is very popular! I find it hard to believe the MPL's attitude toward the Crawford Co. Historical Society. I hope they will be able to solve this problem. It is important to so many people...after all it is one of the top hobbies of this nation. Dolores Laughlin-Hickernell
