Mount Clemens Public Library's Local History & Genealogy Room is Open

We wanted to make sure that everyone has heard that the Local History & Genealogy Room at Mount Clemens Public Library reopened a couple days ago, on Tuesday, September 3. 

The leak and subsequent damage to the wall (not to the materials or equipment) has been fixed and remediated.

Just before this happened during the summer the room received some new equipment, a new scanning station that is similar to the BookScan Station but with some new capabilities. It is still touch-screen operated. It still has two scanners -- an 11"x17" flatbed scanner (with 600 PPI optical resolution) and a document feeder scanner. But this scanning station uses ScanEZ software. Please be aware that the quick guide sheet next to the station needs to be updated so until it is updated, follow the prompts on the screen and/or ask the room staff for some help.

What new capabilities you ask? Well, there is now Vivid-Pix software to help you restore photos and documents. And, there is text translation to a few different languages. So, enjoy the new equipment!

And, come back to your Local History & Genealogy Room to explore all its resources and dig into your genealogy research.

See you at our favorite library!
