To all who are upset with the way the Library runs the Genealogy Dept.
I as a member of the CCGS am upset with the Library and the way they make you feel when
you are doing research. I joined the Club in 1990 after I retired from work.
I wish there was a solutions to the problem, but I don't know what it would be.
I go there to do research for other people and I am treated the same way. I have even met
people there and helped them with their research, but it is the same thing over and over
again. I was told the locked cabinets were to keep people from stealing books. But I
have gone there and books are laying on the tables and no one is in the room. That reason
doesn't hold water with me. If they are afraid of someone stealing them, they should
put them away as soon as the person is done and gone from the Library.
The CCGS has only about 7-8 members. So there is no way we could put some one in the room
to watch people.
We usually have only about 5 people at a meeting.
The fellow you referred to was Hardy Songer. He had been a member for many years. The
club members will sure miss him.
We have a meeting tomorrow night at the Library and I will check and see if the book on
the McConnaughhay family is there.
