Microfilm of the following items is available at the Pember Library:

• Granville Record Book 1787-1826
• Census Rolls 1825-1925 (NYS census, Washington County towns)
• Morris Rote-Rosen 1920-1922,       1935-1984

  • MISSING: 1878-1885, 1901-1913

The microfilm machine in the reference area is now up and running and prints from it look pretty readable. This machine also has a microfiche attachment.  You can bring in your own microfiche to read (for example, some parts manuals are distributed in this way).

There is a second machine in the office which can be used as a reader. It has been cleaned and the electric film winder now works. Sorry, you cannot make prints from this machine.

The Library Catalog will be unavailable on Wednesday November 11th due to a software upgrade.  Our library will be closed in honor of Veteran’s Day.

A meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Pember Library and Museum will be held on the first Wednesday of each month at the Pember. This is a regular meeting and open to the public.

We have fixed the glitch in our email notices. People who have notices set up should now get hold notices in addition to overdue notices.

SALS has also set our notices to send you an email reminder three days before an item is due.

If you would like email notices set up, please ask at the desk.
