Dear Isabell: Thank you for your comments about the LDS Library program. We often hear negitive comments and I understand how some non members would be hesitant but I appreciate your comments, Coming from a nonmember will mean more to other non members. At the current time we have more non members using our library than members and thats good. Thanks again.Genealogists are loveable,
Mary L. Marti
