PERIODICALS PROJECT - Call for Assistance

Paula is guiding efforts to inventory all of our shelved periodicals.  Over the years, our magazine collection grew from various sources: from donations, gift, subscriptions and memberships.  The Periodical Project is simple - listing each different periodical with how many issues and the date span.  Here's a counted sample from the magazines shelved in Section G.  

England
Cornwall Family History Society Journal – 3 bound sets; 10 issues 1980-1982 with 1 issue 1983 of The Cornish American; 8 issues (intermittent) 1983-1986; 8 issues 1988-1989.
The Journal of the Northumberland & Durham Family History Society – 1 bound set; 4 issues 1987.

Lincolnshire Family History Society – 4 bound sets; 23 issues (intermittent) 1993 – 1997. 

Contact Paula Schoenlein if you are able to offer assistance.  Thanks.  Marcia

Surplus Book Re-homing Continues

The Library Committee will continue the Re-Homing of surplus books and other interesting items located on the rolling book cart by the Annex front entry door.  Donations greatly appreciated and accepted!.
Another designated takeaway area is the West end of the Library central table for mostly paper items such as extra speaker handouts, event postcards, interesting article printouts.  Please take what might interest you!.
Please remember that incoming donated genealogical books and papers accepted by an on-duty Librarian must be accompanied by a completed Donation form and placed in the two-drawer filing cabinet in front of the Librarian desk.
As our library space is limited, please note that items of unknown origin left in the library will be offered on the Re-Homing cart.  Thanks, Marcia
