October is a great time to think about our families. Whether you are a dedicated geneaologist already or want to start learning more about your ancestors, we hope you enjoy some of what the library has to offer.

For kids we will have culture and craft bags with activities for celebrating ancestors and holidays (Dia de los Muertos and All Souls Day), book lists, displays, and coloring pages.

For adults we will have a craft bag for making your own family photo ornament to decorate your Christmas tree or to display all year in your home. And of course we offer access to Ancestry.com through our memberhsip with the Maine InfoNet, where you can access more detailed information. Need some help? Racheal is available to sit with you on Fridays, 2-4.
