Cape Cod Times on microfilm

I have been trying since January to find out what the Cape Cod Times plans to do for libraries now that they are planning to stop microfilming their newspaper. The plan is to finish out the 2007 film and then what is not known. As it is now Cape Cod Community College and the Falmouth Public Library are now providing many of the missing copies that the Cape Cod Times no longer has in their possession to actually film the microfilm. I'm wondering if other towns are experiencing this problem, and what they are doing when their local paper decides to stop microfilming. Any suggestions on how to encourage them to continue microfilming the paper? I have yet to get an answer as to what the alternative will be for public libraries and their patrons when the microfilm has stopped. As it is we now have over a years worth of papers we are hanging on to, and are quickly running out of storage. Any ideas? Jill
