For patrons who are unable to use the library facilities (such as those inquiring from out-of-state), the library board has passed the following policy:
Fee for Genealogical & Local History Research
As always, assistance will be provided to individuals who come to the Clifton Public Library to conduct genealogical and historical research. The only cost to these patrons will be the copy charges that they incur during the course of their research.
Requests that require information (limited to the collection available at the library) to be sent by mail or e-mail will incur a $5.00 fee per name, payable in advance by money order.
Reproductions of images in the Local History Collection may be made by the staff using a scanner. The cost for the reproduction is $5.00 per image.When the images become available in a digital format, the public may reproduce non-copyrighted images on their own equipment outside the library with no additional charges from the library.
