Amateur genealogists seeking information on lost ancestors can turn to the library’s circulation staff. The library can order microfilm of newspapers from across the country and from many decades past. This service makes access to information – and completing that family tree – a reality.

“If we don’t have what a researcher may be looking for in our library system, then we go outside the library system,” said Sandy Black, former head of circulation for the Douglas County Library System. “We get a lot of thankful people for that service.”
