Looking for a Few Newspapers
We are starting a digitization project and will be having the Redford Observers processed so they will be available and searchable on our website. Unfortunately, we are missing a few. If you have any old Redford Observers, we are looking for some issues in 2001 and 2002. If you are willing to share your Redford Observers with the library, please call the Reference Desk at 313-531-5960, ext. 103 to find out the specific dates we need.
