Where Are Newpapers Located?
When looking for non-digital newspapers in the history room, one place to look is on microfilm which can be viewed on one of the 2 available readers.
There is also an index available for the Ottawa County News in the card catalog. The corresponding sticker with a red 3 goes along with the binders found on the shelf.
We also have a number of bound newspaper books and boxed up newspapers stored on the crank shelves in the back. They are as follows:
