My question about FamilySearch Centers
I have seen very small FS Centers in some LDS buildings. Are you required to schedule an appointment for visiting the center and how?

My experience in the past was that functioning Centers could generally be contacted though the details found in
, although perhaps the contact phone number may have been valid only when the Center was open,
but that there a number of Centers which should have been deleted from the list as they were no longer active.
If you have visited a LDS building and seen a Center, is there no LDS person present you could ask?

First suggestion - if the center has listed opening hours/days on the website, try calling during those hours. Often there is no voice mail or answering machine, and the phone will only be answered if the center is open.
Some centers are open by appointment only; some have set hours most weeks. Bad weather and holidays - unlikely to be open.
Check the status of any records you want to view. Many can be viewed at affiliate libraries which are generally public library systems with much longer open hours, almost daily.
If you are interested in specific records, give us some details, and we may be able to suggest another way to view or even retrieve for you. I visit my local affiliate every week and my local FSC at least once per month.
Best of luck with the search.
