[Genealib] Family History Month "Open House"

[Kalopulu, Karen]

For the past 2 years at Auckland City Library in Auckland New Zealand we have hosted a Family History lock in, from 8pm on Friday night til 8am Saturday morning. 40 people pay to stay overnight in the library and progress their family history research. We do this in partnership with the New Zealand Society of genealogists. They provide a number of "subject experts" 
It has become a very popular annual event at the library which is eagerly anticipated. Last year we were fully booked 2 months in advance.

	Hi,
	I remember last year there was an exchange of info on how others celebrated family history month by having a special event where the library was open after hours, and patrons could spend time on the computers, etc. looking for ancestors. I now am in a place where I think I could have something like that at this library, so I am asking those of you who have done something similar to this if you would post what you have done, etc.
	Thanks,
