(CSi) – As part of an effort with the North Dakota State Library, the Carrington City Library will be holding a “Scan Day” on Thursday, September 29.

Library Director Michelle Seil says they’re continuing to digitize area newspapers, but this will be a way for members of the public to digitize some of their important documents and information.

Seil says the scanned pictures and memories will then become part of Digital Horizons, which is a collection of North Dakota histories, primarily county and town histories.

The state library says “ND church, school, township, and organization histories are also included,” “For most of these books, the print versions are available for checkout from the North Dakota State Library or through interlibrary loan.”

Seil says those scanned items will also be placed on a flash drive for you to take. Audio Player

Those interested can bring 10 to 15 items per person. Community churches and organizations are also encouraged to submit items. These organizations can have upwards of 30 pictures or documents digitized.

They need to have individuals secure a time slot for the scans between 1 PM and 5 PM on that day. Call (701) 652-3921 or contact Michelle Seil to sign up for a time during the event.
