The Crandon Public Library is excited to offer another season of Story Hour opportunities for preschool aged children this fall.  Story Hour aims to foster a love of reading and provide children and adults with an enjoyable library experience by introducing great books and fun activities.  Weekly Story Hour programs will begin on Wednesday, September 8^th at 10:30 a.m. at the Library.  No advanced registration is required for Story Hour. For additional information, please contact Ashlee at 478-3784.

The Crandon Public library has been designated a FamilySearch Affiliate, meaning it has access to resources found at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.

Patrons of the Crandon Public Library may now borrow microfilm from the Genealogical Society of Utah.  The library has such documents as baptismal and marriage records and immigration records from around the world.

All of it is preserved on 2.4 million rolls of microfilm.  Catalogs of records that may be borrowed from the Utah library are available at www.familysearch.org.

Family researchers may browse the above site at home, then visit the library for help ordering records, or they may receive help from the library staff while they browse the website at the library.

In addition to this new service, the Crandon Public Library also has access to several genealogy databases with records from around the world. These databases include Ancestry.com, HeritageQuest and NewspaperArchive.

Microfilm loan charges are $6.00 per reel.  The loan time is 60 days which includes shipping time to and from the Family History Library.  This assumes 15 days shipping time each way, so the patron will have about 30 days to view the microfilm.  There is a $6.00 charge for renewal of the microfilm for an additional 30 days. Microfiche are available for loan at the rate of $1.00 per fiche card.  The patron may use the fiche for 60 days.

Microfilm order cards are available at the Front Desk of the Crandon Public Library.  Microfilm orders must be paid for in advance.  For additional information please contact Michelle @ the library.
