[Genealib] Fwd: [Publib] Genealogy collections

[Sarah Kirby]

The Genealogy Collection at the Fremont Public Library (Mundelein, IL)
is staffed only when a volunteer is available. Volunteers come from the
Lake County (IL) Genealogical Society. Our average rate of being open is
85-98% of the time the library is open. The collection is actually owned
by the Society and not the Library, but this arrangement has worked well
for the past 6 years or so since we moved in.

We require all library volunteers to go through an orientation as to the
collection contents and the location of various types of materials. Then
we throw them to the wolves.
