Welcome back to Season Six of Linking Our Libraries!

Check out our show notes page, to get links to some other useful resources, and the links for the books we discuss this week.

This week we look at a skill used in a lot of libraries: Genealogy work!

This week we have a new Guest Host: Wendy Sykes from the Great River Regional Library System.

Genealogy is the study of families and lineages. You can look at your own family, or at people from your community. In our multitype system, we have public libraries that help people in their genealogy work looking at their own family, and we have history centers that look at genealogies from across entire communities. There are academic libraries that store work from families who donate materials to collections, and could be used for genealogy.
