December 2008 Program Schedule:

Photo Preservation Workshop
Saturday December 6, 2008, 10:00 am
Main Library, Brody Room
Photographs provide us a bird’s eye view into the past. Among the most cherished of historic resources, they are also the most susceptible to damage. This workshop will teach participants why photos deteriorate, how to decide what photos need to be preserved, and how to care for them to ensure that they will be around for future generations.

Genealogy 'By the Book'
Monday December 15, 6:00 pm
Main Library, Virginia Room
This class highlights resources in the library, including family histories, census and county records, military records, photographs, city directories, maps and much more. Just beginning your research? Perhaps you are an old pro who needs to be recharged. Come and join us to learn how to use the Virginia Room collection. Registration required.
