Staff waited anxiously to see who the first patron through the door would be. Sure enough, at 8:30a.m., the door swung open! Who was behind it? Jan, the head of the Library Services Section, bringing flowers to celebrate Genealogy's opening!

Genealogy Collection reopens on Monday!

The State Library's Genealogy Collection will reopen to the public on Monday, June 11, 2007.
The Genealogy Collection is located on the Mezzanine Floor (West) and hours will be from 8:30am-5:30pm, Monday to Friday. Saturday hours will resume on July 14, 2007.

Unfortunately, the State Library Information Center (First Floor) will continue to stay CLOSED due to continued construction delays. A portion of the new sprinkler system must be reinstalled and the first floor may not reopen to the public until later this Summer.
