It's not too late to sign up for summer reading. Adults can find various summer reading selections on the ends of the bookshelves upstairs and on top of the oversize books shelf. There are also several book lists in the brochure holder at the top of the stairs. And last, but certainly not least, if you need help finding books to complete your summer reading requirements, don't hesitate to ask a library employee at any desk for help. We have lots of suggestions!
Have you been thinking about researching your family's history? If you have, the Morgan County Public Library's main location has a wonderful genealogy collection. The majority of items in the collection is for those ancestors who settled and lived in Morgan County. However, the library has a subscription to the HeritageQuest database that has information from all over the country. In fact, it is an easy and interesting way to trace ancestors through Census information, family history books, periodicals and much more. Make some time to take a look at it. Simply go to our website and click on either "electronic resources and databases" or "genealogy", then look for HeritageQuest. You'll be surprised by what you can find.
New additions to the genealogy collection include:
Hopi and Navajo Native Aerican Census with Birth and Death Rolls
GEN 929.1 BOW
(We have Volumes 1 and 2.)
Hudiburgh/Hudiburg Family
GEN MOR 929.1 HUD
(Two books were compiled and donated to the library by the family)
Reading Early American Handwriting GEN 929.1 SPE
As always, we look forward to your next visit to the library.
