In the November 06, 2009 newsletter, I reported that "Tulare City Manager Darrel Pyle said he and his staff are working to find a new home for the Sequoia Genealogical Society's records collection, which won't make the crosstown trip to the new library building."

A study session and a public hearing on the matter are scheduled Tuesday. At issue is where the genealogy collection, which is now housed in the Tulare Public Library, will go once the new library at Cross Avenue and M Street opens in June.

The genealogy collection attracts residents from across the county and state looking for family lineage and other history.
