NY State library expands service

Good News from the NY State library via Gary D. Price, MLIS, aka Mr. ResourceShelf.

Teachers, students, parents, genealogists and other curious fact seekers have been given an open door to the state’s more than 2 million research items.

The New York State Library now will issue its library card to any New York resident 18 years and older — a privilege that had been reserved for state employees, members of the state’s bar and medical associations, legislators and officially appointed local historians.
