Re: [ranchos] Films on permanent loan.

Joseph,

As far I as I know, the FHL does not do Inter Library Loan. There are a few Public libraries, that do have film access. But I do not know which ones they are.

Thanks,

why not talk to Salt Lake and pettition them to allow your films to be ILL to you local library. All they can do is say no. I've understood that in some cases they will do that, but maybe that's only when there are absolutely not FHC anywhere close. This might not apply in your case.

Jonathan do you know about this?

Peggy,

I understand your feelings. The nearest FHC for me usually opens only
on Saturdays and just for three hours. It has 2 projectors but only
one is in working order. On my last visit I was shown a letter where
they were asking for the films I haven't even reviewed to be sent
back. At this rate it'll take at least a couple of lives to find all
my ancestors. jah! Maybe I'll find myself in the next life!
