The Ohio Genealogical Society will dedicate its new 19,000 foot Samuel D. Isaly Research Library in Bellville, Ohio at 10 a.m. Friday. Tours of the facility will be available Friday and Saturday.
Funded partially through an Ohio Cultural Facilities Commission grant, a Richland Foundation matching gift, and a Rural Development loan from the United States Department of Agriculture, the vast majority of funding for the $2.5 million project came from hundreds of individual donors.

I wrote about the groundbreaking for this new library last year at http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2009/05/ohio-genealogical-society-schedules-groundbreaking-for-its-new-library.html. It's nice to see the finished result is now available.
