[Genealib] Fwd: [Publib] Genealogy collections

[Angie Wilderman]

Our public library has a separate history room. In the past it was
open two days a week and the first Saturday of the month. It was
staffed with dedicated volunteers. A librarian was in charge of making
purchases etc. Now it is made available every day; however, on the
additional days, the visitor must ask the reference librarian for
access.

I was there yesterday and the volunteer told me that the volunteer
staff was down to two people.
