I've been down to have a look it's very spacious. They have got FMP but no newspapers included on their FMP sub. I think they used to be included. They've got Ancestry as it was. For the Digital Library go into Onelogue I think it's called. When logging on there just put in your number don't put in the L or the V or the P prefix letters.
