We had 460 Visitors on Eclipse Day

/in /by

Monday was busy here at the library! By the end of the day, our door counter told us we had 460 people come through. People from all over the world and all walks of life traveled here to view the total solar eclipse. Even though the town was crowded, the atmosphere was incredibly joyous and welcoming. Thank you to everyone who spent time here during this special day and made the experience such a pleasure!

We have a map in our entryway where visitors can place a pin to show where they came from. Next time you stop in you will be able to see all the new pins that were added this week!

Wednesday, May 8th  11:00-1:00

· Do you have a genealogical question that’s been weighing on your mind?

· Have you run into a ‘brick wall’ in your family tree and don’t know what to do next?

· Or, maybe you want to know more about an ancestor. You have their vital records (birth, marriage, death) and census data, but you want to know MORE. Where should you search?

Sign up for a free consultation with professional genealogist Judith Harper by visiting the front desk or calling the Lake Placid Public library at 518-523-3200.
