Meet the New! Improved! Heritage Room at the ACC Library

After nearly two years of renovation, the Athens-Clarke County Library’s Heritage Room, which houses local history and genealogy collections, is once again open and ready for research.

Library staff invites you to a special program on Thursday, June 20, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. to explore the newly opened Heritage Room. During “Meet the {New} Heritage Room,” researchers will take a walking tour of the expanded Heritage Room, explore print and digital resources and meet the new Heritage Room librarian, Angela Stanley. A demonstration of the ScanPro 2000, the Library’s new, state-of-the-art digital microfilm reader and printer, will also be included in the program.

This program is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. Call (706) 613-3650, extension 350, to sign up.

 The Athens-Clarke County Library’s Heritage Room is now bigger and better than ever! The collections housed in the Heritage Room have been rearranged and are now more easily accessible in a larger space, and the area also has its own dedicated conference room.

The Heritage Room is open to the public Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursdays from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sundays, 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. For more information, visit www.athenslibrary.org or call (706) 613-3650, ext. 350.
