Interested in Genealogy?

Ever have questions about your family history? Elgin Public Library is wondering if anyone is interested in discovering your own family history. We are exploring the idea of getting a subscription to a resource that would help in finding out about your family history. It would be fun to have a day at the library where we can all get together and help each other navigate through the process. We don’t want to subscribe to something unless there is an interest and it will be used. Let us know what you think in the comments below. Thanks.

There will be a lot of dinosaur tricks and routines in the show, but nothing scary.

Admission is free. Just come and enjoy the fun!
