1. The Sanborn maps were my biggest discovery. We have had clients’
come into the library and want maps of our era. The resources we have little
and have to send most people to the Achieves in the local museum. I am hoping
that our area will be added soon because there is a demand for the information
2. It would be nice if we could have posters for the kids to see and read. We as clerks can verbally promote the sight but it still need to be understood. The summer reading program for the children isn't the format for this kind of education but is a time when we get lots of kids in at one time. We need to find a time to show what we offer and how to use the sights. The students will learn the sights when they go to college and have to do research. The problem is in the grades, high school and older adults that don’t have the primary knowledge of where to get the information. It almost has to be taught in the school as much as I hate to say it.
