[Genealib] No more remote access to HQ

[Laura Spurrier]

Dick Eastman's blog implied that all public libraries in Calif. offer  
access to Heritage Quest.  I checked the link he offered to a list of  
such libraries and found it covered perhaps 25% of the state.  The  
rest of us are out of luck.  My local public library certainly  
doesn't offer it.  Perhaps coverage is better back east?
