What You Need to Know ​

Position:       Look ups

Date:              As needed.  Each month we receive anywhere from 1 to 5 emails each month through our website. 
 
Time:              It takes approximately one hour on average per look up to locate the information, not including travel.
 
Where:           Possible locations include; McHenry, Woodstock and Crystal Lake Public libraries. 

Why:              This is a great way to assist distant members or those looking for specific articles or obituaries they’ve identified through our indexes.  The volunteer needs to go to the local library, locate the information and make a copy to send to the requester.

Resources:  Need to use the libraries microfilm reader, copy machine or use your cell phone to take a photo of the information which can then be emailed to the requester.
