Grow your family tree
October is designated in many U.S. States as "Family History Month." This month, local resident, Donna Wetzel has created a genealogy display at the Crown Point Library.
Celebrate your family history and begin to create your family tree. Begin by talking to your family, examine family scrapbooks and photo albums and try online resources like ANCESTRY.COM. which can be accessed for free from the Crown Point Library. This database contains more than 4 billion names. It has coverage of the United States and the United Kingdom, including census, vital, military, court, and immigration records, as well as record collections from Canada, Europe, and other areas.
For additional tips, ask the Reference Librarian at the Crown Point or Winfield Branch Library.

Crown Point Library Teen Volunteers
On Tuesday, September 28 our new teen volunteers and their parents were invited to join us for a teen orientation meeting. Teens and their parents were introduced to the library staff, learned about the volunteer program and were given a behind-the-scenes tour of the library.
Our teen volunteers are young patrons who assist library staff with a variety of library-related tasks. Many of our teenagers volunteer at the library to fulfill community service requirements for school and other institutions. This important program allows out teenagers to develop a sense of ownership of the library and its services.

Groundbreaking is expected to be late spring, 2011.
We can't wait--how about you?
