Since our current renovation project has made the Local History room unavailable to the public, we're taking this opportunity to move a few things around in there. Previously, books were on one set of shelves, and genealogical magazines were on a different set. We are now filing the magazines that deal with a particular location with the books about that location. So, a magazine on Virginia genealogy is now shelved with the books on Virginia genealogy.
Magazines that don't deal with any one place will still be shelved separately.
We hope to have the local history room available again near the first of February. Fingers crossed!
