CSAGSI Library Collection OPEN!

The Genealogy Collection recently moved to the Riverside Public Library. The new site (see below for details) is now open to the public. We will continue to staff the collection with our knowledgeable volunteers.  Currently the library has a volunteer on Tuesdays, and CSAGSI has one on Thursdays, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Other times are available by appointment.
