finger plays and activities. Everyone made their own fancy turkey!

Library gets new state-of-
the art tectlnology
.... lip !
Members of the Sundance Friends of the Library with the new Microfilm Reader/Printer
- Marjorie Goodson, Diane Leslie, Jeanne Wyatt, Linda Rogers and Jeanette Smith.
State-of-the-art technology has come to
Crook County Library in the form of a new
ST ViewScan Digital Microfilm and Microfiche
Scanner System. It replaces an old Minolta
RP603Z microfilm reader/printer, which was
over 20 years old.
The microfilm reader/printer is housed at
the main library in Sundance and is used
by patrons and staff doing research in our
newspaper microfilm or genealogical micro-
film obtained through interlibrary loan. The
old system was for in-library use only; the
new system can be accessed remotely from
all branch libraries or a patron's home com-
puter.
The mission of the Crook County Public Li-
brary System is to "enable the people of Crook
County to cherish their history and expand
their personal horizons through free and eas-
ily accessible information and services." This
ST ViewScan System will allow ALL our staff
and patrons to "read" microfilm via the in-
ternet, whether they are located at the main
library, one of our branches in Moorcroft or
Hulett, or on their own home computer.
They will have the ability not only to view the
images, but to print, email or save them as
well. The system uses digital technology and
high-end camera optics, enabling images that
have deteriorated to be "cleaned up."
We are currently building a collection of
microfilm on ALL newspapers in the county,
back to their initial issues. Even though the
early papers are available online through the
Wyoming Newspaper Project, there are still
several decades worth of papers that are only
available through microfilm.
Funding for this new system came from the
library budget, a McMurry grant from the Wy-
oming Community Foundation and a $2000
donation from the Sundance Friends of the
Library.

and Wyoming were in the air,
• searching either' for the plane
or its wreckage.
"It's rough terrain with lots
of gullies and ridges - he could
have been in any of them, and
it's hard for a plane to see,"
says Stahla.
One of the search planes
eventually headed north and
west into Montana, locating
the aircraft in Carter County,
near Alzada. Hodge and Stah-
la did not follow as the site
was outside Crook County ju-
risdiction, says the sheriff.
Kovarik was found deceased
at the crash site. The reason
for the crash has not yet been
confirmed, says Stahla.
