Happy ! Our library has many great resources to help you build on your genealogy research, from non-fiction to NL historical materials!

Our featured title for this week:
📚 "Do Unto Others: Dower of Conche" by Austin Dower
"In telling the story of his ancestor, James H. Dower, the author also tells the story of the early settlement and settlers of Conche, a community on the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, in the late eighteenth century."

Visit our reference staff on the 3rd floor for all your family history needs!
