MEETING WILL BE HELD AT THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY LIBRARY
General Overview and Unexpected Finds in Unexpected Places
The meeting for May will be held in the new meeting room at the State Historical Society's library located on the eastside of Ellis Library. Senior Reference Specialist Ara Kaye will be giving a presentation on the library. She will present a general overview of the holdings of the library as well as tell us about less used and less known, but often very useful, resources.
Parking can be very difficult at the library. For information on where to park visit the MO State Historical Society Library's website.
