Genealogical library needs volunteers

The Library of Genealogy and Local History, maintained by the van Zandt County Genealogical Society is an off-site facility of the Van Zandt County Library. The genealogy library is located in the County Courthouse Annex on Groves Street in Canton.

The library is staffed by volunteer librarians who work a 3 and a half hour shift each week. There are usually two librarians available to assist patron in their research, if needed.

Other volunteer opportunities in the genealogical society are assisting in the research and publication of the society’s quarterly and various publications and helping with the annual seminar and beginner’s workshops.

If you have a few hours to volunteer each week and would be interested in helping at the library, contact Society President Jan Crow at 903-567-5012.

The Van Zandt Genealogical Society meets at 2 p.m. the fourth Saturday of each month at the VZC Library, 317 First Monday Ln. in Canton.

The meetings include interesting genealogical programs and light refreshments.
