+====Staff Help====
+* Our FamilySearch Center is staffed by local volunteers who can help get you started with family history research. They can guide you in using FSC resources and equipment. If you're planning a visit to our center to begin your genealogy, write down what you know about the family you wish to research: Names, birth/death dates, and Birth/Death City and State. This will help our volunteers guide you where to look.
-''(Include sections for any other services your center provides. Add additional sections for those services. See the [[Bountiful Utah Heights FamilySearch Center|Bountiful]] and [[Chattanooga Tennessee FamilySearch Center|Chattanooga]] FSC pages for examples.)''
+* Memory sticks/jump drives can be used to download information from the computers.
+* Patrons may bring their own laptops for note-taking or entering information into personal genealogical programs.
