Akron Library - Indexing Volunteers Mary Plazo from the Special Collections area of the library, tells us they need Indexing Volunteers. This task is vital to ongoing genealogical research at the library, and can be done from home. If you have a computer and a bit of time now and then, perhaps you can help.
If you think you may be able to assist, please contact Cheri Goldner in Special Collections at 330-643-9030 or cgoldner@akronlibrary.org.

Slàinte!
