Did you know that there is a genealogy library only about 40 minutes south of Tucson? The Green Valley-Sahuarita Genealogy Library, a partnership of the Green Valley Genealogical Society and La Posada Community, holds approximately 3,000 books, maps, and periodicals covering a wide variety of genealogy topics. Computers with internet access are available and laptops are welcome. The library is situated in the Posada Java Building in Green Valley. Guests are welcome to research at the library, but only members of the Green Valley Genealogical Society or La Posada residents may check the books out.
Pima County Genealogy Society is sponsoring a research trip to the library on Wednesday, 25 September 2019 for PCGS members only. Participants will meet in the parking lot of the Tucson Family History Center, 500 S. Langley Ave., at 9:00 a.m. and board a 12 passenger van. The van will depart at 9:05 a.m. and arrive at the Green Valley-Sahuarita Genealogy Library by 10:00 a.m. Darillyn Doss, Director of Library Operations, will give a casual presentation and a tour of the library, then guests will be given time to research. Guests may take breaks at the coffee/sandwich shop next door any time they wish. The van will depart Green Valley promptly at 12:30 p.m.
The fee is $12 to cover the cost of transportation. the van only holds 12 people, including the driver, so we are limited to 11 registrants.
