I commend you for trying to get records there and equipment so that patrons can have access to them. First thing that you need to do is get a Librarian that will tell patrons what is available. I visited there a few weeks ago and was told, ' what we have is in the back corner, help yourself'. After that we were on our own. I asked several questions and was given very short or no answer at all. I searched everything I found, back in the corner, in the dark, and did not find what I was looking for. The Librarian was too interested in playing solitaire on the computer to answer questions. I didn't learn that there was a Family History book that was in print until I started to leave and saw it lying on the counter. There was not one on the Library shelf. I left feeling very frustrated. It would also help if someone could get the genealogy materials out into the light, and a little more accessable to the public. Thank you for listening to my gripes. I am just not accoustomed to that kind of attitude from a librarian. Regards, Margaret Long Mabrey Hancock co list owner --part1_1d2ba96.24edf9ee_boundary--
