The library has an extensive Shelby County History section with family histories, county histories, cemetery records, country school and church records, census records, and county newspapers on microfilm. We are pleased to be able to house the Shelby County Historical Society's archives. The library staff will do limited searches for the cost of copies. Color and laser printers are available. The internet can be accessed from all computers.
Limited assistance is available from the library staff.
The online catalog indicates if a book is available or checked out, and when circulating books are due back. Books not available in the library can be borrowed through OCLC, a nationwide database of libraries. Almost any title can be borrowed by mail, usually arriving within a week. Patrons are asked to pay return postage. There is no charge for incoming faxes.
