Come learn some crochet basics and make a granny square or two!
It’s great way to use up odd bits of yarn. Since squares are worked individually and can be combined to make almost anything, it’s a great portable project for waiting rooms or long trips.

Materials will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own hook and yarn if you prefer! Adults and teens welcome.

Sign up at the front desk or by calling 518-523-3200.

Ask A Genealogist!

/in /by
  • 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.

Judith Harper has been fascinated by family history research since the late 1980s when she started investigating the lives of her ancestors. She has been working as a professional genealogist since 2015, when she received her Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University. Judith specializes in New York State and New England genealogy.  She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, and her profile can be viewed at https://www.apgen.org/users/judith-harper.
