This is an alert bar. Due to COVID-19, face covering required in all MRCPL buildings. Thank you for your cooperation!
Due to business model changes from newspaper outlets all over the state and country, beginning Mon. Oct. 24, MRCPL will no longer receive many newspapers via daily carrier services. Several local and national newspapers will now be delivered to our libraries via U.S. Postal Service and therefore, be delayed getting into circulation. As soon as we receive the papers, we will process and get them into circulation but delays are unfortunately unavoidable and out of our control. We appreciate your patience as we all adjust to this new delivery model.
Searching for a local newspaper article, or obituary? Try searching the Newspaper Index. You’ll find a citation which will contain the name of the paper, page number and date. For a copy of a complete article cited in the index, call the Sherman Room 419.521.3115 or email: genealogy@mrcpl.org
