The Haas Library has a microfilm reader on the third floor.

Drawer full of microfilm

The Haas library has microfilmed copies of several local papers, including the Danbury News-Times (which has not been digitized).

Pile of returned micofilm

Microfilm boxes come in all shapes and sizes.

When you're done using microfilm, please return it to the basket on top of the file cabinets. That way, the library can keep track of how often things are used.
