photocopied, but

Local
History Room -- Our
new facility contains a local history room in which
we have our
reference collection of books pertaining to the
history of our part of
the state. It is not the most extensive
collection and there is
limited genealogical material within it.
Anything that we do not
have
on hand is likely to be found at the Greenbrier

down the hill from our
facility. As with all of our reference
materials, the books in
our Local History Room may not be checked out.

Inter Library Loans -- The
Peterstown Public Library participates in an

generosity of public and
academic libraries across the state. For
security reasons
interlibrary loan materials must be signed out from
the front desk. In
order to receive this privilege the borrower agrees
to: 1.
Accept responsibility for
materials between signing out and signing in. This
includes cost of
damage to or loss of borrowed item. 2.
Return the materials by the date due marked on the
interlibrary loan
slip. Not returning materials to the lending library
on time may
jeopardize our ability to continue receiving
interlibrary loan services
from that library. Please make every effort to return
this material by
the due date. Please note: Borrowers may be
required to have a
valid library card with the MLN system in order to
check out
