Is there any chance someone here goes to the Buffalo and Erie county public library?

The library did some minor research for me and didn’t find anything for the couple of dates they looked at. 😕

Excuse me. Do you know how libraries are regulated in the United States?

Do you even know who my grandfather was?

Wait a minute ... 

Was he Mr. Bookman?

Sort of. He was a man who loved books. But one day he went to the library to read an old edition of the Pittsburgh Miner, the predecessor to the Post-Gazette. He was directed into the basement, where stacks and stacks of papers were sitting on shelves, being devoured by termites. He knew there had to be a better way. Six months later, he had a patent for Micro-Film™, which to this day remains the only legally authorized term for any such product, be they on rolls or sheets. Microfiche was developed by his hated rival, André De La Fiche, who had befriended my grandfather in World War I only to steal away the love of his life, but that's another story. It's all settled in U.S Patent Courts. Libraries in the U.S are regulated by library commissions in each county, so secretive many citizens don't know they exist. Those commissions issue regulations each year regarding this terminology. Patrons who ask for microfiche are required by LAW to correct themselves or the request is to be denied.
