If you find a film you’d like to view, you can order that film using the on-line film ordering right from your browser at home. You will be able to pay for the rental online at that time.<br>There is a fee ($7.50) for film rental for a two (2) month period and ($4.75) for microfiche - which are not returned but stay at the Center.
