I have been to the Bull Run Public Library countless times. Normally I just go on line search for the book I want. It is held for me until I pick it up. Long gone are the days of physically searching through the card catalog for your book of choice. I happened to let myself step outside of my formatted schedule and browsed the library. I came across a neon lighted children’s area, a quiet study room, a young adult area that was something from the Jetson’s, (Did I just date myself?), and a genealogy assistance room.
The genealogy assistance room is called The Ruth E. Lloyd Information Center (RELIC). There is staff professionally trained to assist customers to research and trace their family history. So, who was Ruth E. LLOYD? She was a Prince William County civic leader, who led the development of the Prince William Public Library System.
It was a wonderful experience to have assisted help viewing documents from the National Archives and other related organizations. Don’t forget to view the calendar of events. Saturday August 6 is Storytime for all ages at 11:00 AM. Thanks for listening to my two cents on the Bull Run Public Library.
