Have you traced YOUR family today?
Ancestry Library Edition and HeritageQuest can help
 Ancestry.com is a world renowned genealogy website, and you now have access to it through your library!  Come in and give it a try.  Ancestry must be used in the Library, but we do have a dedicated Ancestry station, where you are guaranteed at least an hour of time to search, and longer if no one else is waiting for access.  Just sign in and ask at the desk to use the Ancestry station.  Ancestry is also available on all the other patron computers, but you will still be limited to half an hour of use a day. 

Don't forget about your other option, too - HeritageQuest.  Click a button!
