It’s wonderful that they have a bank of computers and free access to Ancestry for peeps who don’t have the money to buy their own :-)

I haven’t been to any of the really BIG ones, but I’m sure I’d be in awe of them.

The Connecticut State Library where I’m from has a vast genealogical collection of books not to mention the microfilm of records and newspapers.

Although the state libraries are very big and usutally contain a lot of books and genealogical materials, don’t overlook your local library. Many local libraries have amassed a small collection of genealogical materials of particular interest to the local surroundings. I sometimes write about local library collctions in my own blog. When I can’t make the long trip to the state library, I can often find what I’m looking for and one of the surrounding town’s local libraries.
