New! Join us for Digital Scrapbooking for Genealogy. Thursdays from 12:30-2:30 p.m. (October 20, 27, November 3 and 10)

Do you have photos you would like to scrapbook? Are you interested in putting together a digital album to document your story or one of an ancestor? Join us for four weekly sessions and learn how to make a digital scrapbook. Completed albums make great gifts, and can be finished in time for the holidays.
