The Huron County Library Board has purchased a microfilm reader -printer which will allow patrons to make 1excellent quality copies of materials on microfilm for only 25 cents per copy. A researchere using early editions of a local newspaper on microfilm, for example, can now make copies of the pages he desires instead of tediously writing down the information they contain. As well as making the microfilm collection at the Goderich branch library more convenient to use, this new service will be of great benefit to those borrowing microfilmed materials through interlibrary loan. The passenger lists of ships ,bringing new immigrants to Canada, and early editions of newspapers outside- Huron County are two examples of the interesting historical records available to researchers on microfilm through the loan service. Since items borrowed on interlibrary loan are only on loan for a relatively short time, the usefulness of being able to make copies is even more important. �F1 /Yy,�Yt- THE SECOND -YEAR TYKES ended the 1982-83 season last Thurs- day with a practice at the Wingham arena.
