In conjunction with the Lockport Library, LAGHS will be making all newletters more than 1 year old available for free. This is an ongoing project that has not been assigned a deadline at this time. Keep watching for details as they become available. Meanwhile, this listing gives a general idea about the topics covered in each issue. You can still request hard copies or pdfs through our email.
