Default Midland Ancestors Library in Birmingham - LDS Affiliate Library

Just seen this in "Family Tree" magazine - the Midland Ancestors Family History Centre and Reference Library in the Kingsley Norris Room at the Birmingham & Midland Institute, Margaret Street, Birmingham (very close to New Street Station) has been given Affiliate Library status by FamilySearch, which means that the computers there can be used to view the images on FamilySearch which are restricted to FamilySearch Centres.

It is open from 10:15 a.m. - 3 p.m. most weekdays, except 10:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Thursdays, and is staffed by volunteers, so if you are travelling from a distance you should check in advance that it will be open. Open to non-members and it is free although they appreciate donations.

I think this is great news, since so many of the FamilySearch Centres have restricted opening hours and are not easy to get to.
