Library Grand Opening

The San Diego Genealogical Society had its members only Grand Opening today. We had about 120 members and guests come out to check out our new digs. There were library volunteers available to show everyone the layout and introduce them to the layout. A few of the members weren't aware of our computer capabilities or the web access.

Refreshments were available for the event. Just a note: All refreshments were consumed outside! When the library is fully operational patrons will be limited to eating at the tables in the rear of the library. Absolutely no food or drinks in the book stacks or computer work stations. Orders of the librarian.

Marna, the society president, and Pam, the librarian, along with all the volunteers who are doing the grunt work are looking forward to the public Grand Opening on Saturday, 21 Nov 2009, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

There are a few photos at SDGS Web Albums. (If you look at the pictures, ignore the created date. For some reason it is listed as 4 Nov instead of 15 Nov.)

SDGS Library Grand Opening 15 Nov 2009

Don't forget the new Library Grand Opening on Nov 14, 2009. This event is for SDGS members only and is from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. The location is 7343 Ronson Rd, Suite O, San Diego.

The ribbon cutting will be at 1:00 p.m. so don't show up at 1:05 expecting to see the big event.

A big gala with ribbons, balloons and cookies is planned. (Well ok, maybe not a big gala event, but gala anyway.)

If you haven't been to the library in a while come see the new one. We have lots of books and periodicals, over 10,000, microfilm, microfiche, and data on CDROM. There are two computer work stations with net access. Hopefully in the near future we will have an account with Ancestry.com for the library. If you have your own account you can access that at the library.

Looking forward to seeing a lot of people.
