Come join us to research your family tree. We will make the room and
resources available. This will be a time when everyone can gather in one place and research with the assistance of library staff. You can also share with your fellow researchers.

While you can use the resources any time the library is open, this will be a time when you can work undisturbed, and have a staff member handy to help you. Instead of vying for staff attention, someone will be there in the room, available to answer your questions. Beginners are welcome.
No prior experience necessary.

Kay Cassidy, author of The Cinderella Society, conducts a competition during summer reading.  She has supplied a list of books and corresponding trivia questions, both teen and tween. 

If you read a book from Cassidy’s list and get 8 out of 10 of the questions correct, you will be entered into Cassidy’s personal raffle to win a $50 gift card to Barnes and Noble, which can be redeemed online. 

To find eligible titles, you can visit the Teen Desk to see a printed copy or you can go to Cassidy’s website, http://www.kaycassidy.com/hunt.  Any titles not found in the Lansing Library’s collection can be Inter-library loaned from another library.  Participating in The Great Scavenger Hunt can also increase your chances to win the raffle prizes.  See the librarians for details.
