Center Resources
We do have some books and periodicals.

We are moving away from microfiche and microfilm. Most microfilm has been digitized and can be viewed through the browser Portals extension on our computers at this center and the Gary building FSCenter OR you can download the extension on your Chrome book or Laptop while in the church building. However, it is a slow process until the digitized film is INDEXED. " All hands on deck." Everyone is needed to help index. We will gladly show you how! It can be done at your convenience at home on your own computer.
