Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the Marion County Library Board for their help in expanding the Genealogy Room at the Marion County Library. The room is almost totally complete with new shelves and workspaces, new microfilm reader and printer. (thanks to a grant from Natco and the Board), a new computer and printer, new walls, carpet and a lot of new additions. The society members are in the process of refurbishing the existing books and they really look great.
We have a brand new addition of added microfilm and several new books, thanks to Norma Freeman who has just moved to California and left her collection to the Society. We are growing all the time.
