🦉 Sunday Owls

Greetings!  We at KHCPL in the Genealogy and Local History Department are hoping to recharge this blog.  Be on the lookout for new posts at this site in the coming weeks.  We hope to have everything from quick tips on doing research, information on events and sources, as well as articles on Howard County history and the people who lived here.  

Do you have the after-the-holidays January blahs?  KHCPL comes to the rescue with Genealogy for Sunday Owls on January 21st from 2 pm - 5:30 pm in the department.  You will need to register on the library's Events page to participate.  Spaces are filling quickly, so don't delay!  There is no charge.  All experience levels are welcome.  You will have access to our knowledgeable staff as well as all of our databases and physical materials.  

Come see our display Binding Wounds, Pushing Boundaries: African Americans in Civil War Medicine.  This exhibit comes from the US National Library of Medicine and will be on display until February 9th.
