FAMILY RESEARCH CENTRE
To celebrate Family History Month, the Family Research Centre (FRC) will be open Monday to Saturday every week (including Tuesdays when it is normally closed). For the whole month entry to the FRC will be FREE. Non NZSG members are welcome.
Every Monday and Wednesday during Family History Month at 11am, the volunteers will be holding Talks and Tours of the Library. If you haven’t visited for a while now is the time to do so. Tell your friends and family this is a great opportunity to see all the wonderful resources held in the library and to meet the fantastic volunteers who run everything for us. Remember the FRC is open 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday during Family History Month and until 8pm on Wednesdays and the first Friday.
ONLINE EVENTS
During August we have arranged a weekly online meeting each Thursday at 7pm for our members around the country and overseas. These sessions are also available for non-members. Come and join us for one or all. There is something here for everyone.
These sessions are designed to highlight how you can get more out of your membership.
