[Genealib] Interlibrary loan of genealogy books

[Ann Marie]

Hi John-
We do allow genealogy materials to go through ILL.  We will lend if they are 
in good condition along with microfiche and microfilm.  We do limit the 
microfilm to two at a time to other libraries.  We don't lend indexes but 
will make copies which include passenger lists, census indexes, city & 
county directories, yearbooks, Erie County cemetery records and History of 
the Pennsylvania Volunteers.
We don't allow genealogy materials to be loaned during the months of June 
through the end of August due to visitors from across the country who visit 
our Heritage Room at the Erie County Public Library.
Hope this helps and good luck on your presentation!
