Attention!! Genealogical Research Room Move


On the lower level of the Chariton Library, the music room has always taken up the largest part of the area. Recently the books and videos have been moved upstairs leaving a large open area. The Lucas County Genealogical Society has been invited to occupy this space.

If you try to visit the genealocial research room and no one is there, you will need to check in upstairs and obtain a key to enter the research room.

The volunteers who have always been there to help researchers will still be there to help, but the group is working on setting up volunteer hours to assist you.

The front doors will remain open, as will the doors from the north-side parking lot. The area to the stairs, the elevator, the meeting room and the restrooms will still be accessable.

Be patient, volunteers are working to get accessability back to normal. Once everything is arranged, the inconvenience will be worth it. (http://lucascountygenealogy.blogspot.com/2011/11/music-room-at-library.html) published November 11, 2011.

The Chariton Library's website still states the following: The Lucas County Genealogy Society Family History Room is open the same hours as the library. Volunteers are on duty some of the time to assist and show you what is available. If you know when you will be in Chariton, Iowa to research, e-mail us and we will try to have a volunteer available.
