Microfilm Readers

SteveThompson

Hello! My name is Steve Thompson. My wife and I are new FHC directors in Kyle, Texas. I have a question about microfilm readers. We have two large ones in our FHC, and neither works very well. Do microfilm readers still play a role in the FHC? My wife has volunteered in the FHC for 2 years prior to covid and she has never seen anyone use them. Can we get rid of them? What is the process?

Thanks!
