Library Look-ups

   Library Pages (student workers) will be available to do look-ups in the materials the Greenwood High School Library  Media Center has in its collection during the regular school year (September-May). E-mail inquiries to Library Media Specialist Jan Owens at  jan.owens@greenwoodk12.com .
   The Key index is updated as new issues are published. Surnames, local events, organizations, schools and places are indexed.
   Through a grant from the Greenwood  Educational Foundation the library has  purchased the microfilm of the surviving issues Greenwood Democrat. The local history index of the newspaper include births, deaths, marriages, major news items, local elections, and general information about club and church meetings. Microfilmed issues include: scattered issues from 1926-1964 and complete issues 1965-1999.
   Photocopies of specific articles (must have issue date and page) are available from the Arkansas History Commission. The high school library does not have a microfilm photocopier, but does have some of the more recent papers. The Sebastian County Library in Greenwood has some paper issues from the 1950s to the present day.
