More than 150 libraries have been
closed or put into the hands of volunteers in the past year owing to the Government spending
squeeze, with a further 225 at risk as councils look for ways of finding
savings, according to research released last night.
Ack! Libraries are
such a key element for us genealogists and family historians! They serve as repositories for invaluable
information (both to preserve and provide access to users), experts on local
lore, a great place to meet others doing similar research, and much more!
It made me wonder on how America
Have libraries closed in your community? Did they “hold” collections of particular
interests to genealogists and family historians? What happened to these unique and invaluable
collections?
