Research assistance

If you are unable to visit our library in person, you may contact us with your questions.

Library Fees Effective May 1, 2004

  • Requests for copies of articles found in the newspaper index / database will be $2.00 per article with no minimum. There will be no research fee charged for newspaper index requests. A $3.00 shipping and handling fee will be charged.
  • Research fees will only be charged when research other than the newspaper index is requested. This fee will remain $25 per hour, and 25 cents a copy (not $2.00/article), with a $5.00 minimum.
  • These fees do not apply to researchers visiting the library who do not request additional research assistance.

What are these fees used for? Library fees help offset a portion of the costs of running the library including staff time, purchasing new materials, and maintenance of the microfilm reader.
