Cape Library gets new microfilm reader

Cape Girardeau Public Library has a new microfilm reader/printer, thanks to a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The $4,196 grant required a 25 percent match from the library.

It is the library's second microfilm reader/printer -- a machine invaluable to those researching genealogy.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is an independent federal agency charged with growing and sustaining a "Nation of Learners," according to a written statement released by the Cape Girardeau Public Library. To learn more, visit www.imls.gov.
