Beginning on Friday, March 20th, at 4:00 PM Daylight Savings Time (our regular Friday closing time), the IGS library will be closed to the public until further notice. We WILL still have staff in the building to handle the day-to-day matters, but we just do not have enough staff or volunteers to complete the kind of rigorous, continuous cleaning and distancing necessary to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

We are also postponing all classes and interest group meetings until further notice, as well as our Spring Conference (originally slated for Saturday, April 18th). We will continue to communicate via our Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as this website, http://iowagenealogy.org, and will keep you updated as new information becomes available. Please take care of yourselves and stay home as much as you can!
