Come be a mouse in the rat race at the VZC library

Submitted by Canton1 on

The Van Zandt County Library has an important off-site partner in The Library of Genealogy and Local History which is located in the Courthouse Annex, across from Hillcrest Cemetery in Canton.  

The Genealogy Society of Van Zandt County is one of the most active in the state of Texas and has had many award winning members and books compiled by members. 

At the VZC library, members of the group have a display in the foyer each month.   Currently displayed are books about various communities in the county.  

The phone number, 903-567-5012, will get you to a volunteer who can help you with family searches and other history questions as well as hours of operation.

Friends of the Library will meet at 10 a.m. Nov. 9 with Commissioner Virgil Melton Jr. outlining various ways that veterans are being helped in Van Zandt County.  Transportation to VA Hospitals is a major problem for many veterans.  Even though they still drive in the country, city traffic is too much for some of them to handle.
