Thank You, Fielding Lewis Chapter, NSDAR, Marietta

The Fielding Lewis Chapter, NSDAR, Marietta, GA stopped by the library this rainy morning and cheered us all up with a generous donation to benefit the genealogy collection. Their donation funded the purchase of three new titles. Smyrna Library has over 5,000 volumes in its genealogy collection as well as access to several genealogy databases. The strength of this collection is due to the support of individuals and groups like the Fielding Lewis Chapter. Thank you, ladies!
