What additional abstracts have been created for the southern New England states? What forms of these records are available online? What kind of records might take the place of a vital record? Improve your family history research today by maximizing your ability to locate the records that tie generations together.

Touch A Truck Fundraiser at Glen Park

Come touch a variety of trucks, motorcycles, and equipment while supporting the Library!  Everyone will have a chance to see, touch, blow horns, and learn about dozens of cool vehicles.  For those who don't like the noise, there will be a quiet hour from 1 to 2 PM when no horns or sirens will sound.  Food will be available for purchase from the Lions' Club.  

This event is a fundraiser for the Library.  Admission is $3 per person for the day.
