GENEALOGY RESEARCH TIP OF THE DAY

When searching online newspaper content, don't ignore content from hundreds or even thousands of miles away. For a variety of reasons, your ancestor may have been mentioned in a distant newspaper, especially if he/she did something slightly unusual or noteworthy.

And sometimes those unusual items don't always get passed down to future generations.

If you have a library card with our library system; check out our Library's new database: "Newsbank"

If you live outside our County feel free to stop by the Library's Genealogy Department to use this database and others the Library offers.

Congratulations to Nobel Prize in Literature Winner, Alice Munro!

 

Alice Munro Won the Nobel Prize in Literature Thursday, making her the first Canadian writer to take the award.

For more than forty years, Alice Munro's reputation has steadily grown to a point where she is today recognized as one of the finest living short story writers - and now a Nobel Prize winner!  She is often compared to Chekhov for her fastidiously structured plots and psychological complexity, she has won the admiration of writers and readers around the world. From her early success with Dance of the Happy Shades to her most recent collections, Munro has steadily proven that short stories can be just as intricate, moving, and formidable as the best novels.
