Local History and Genealogy

Local History and GenealogyThe Local History Room is located across from the information desk. It is open 9:00am to 5:00am Monday, and Wednesday through Saturday.  On Tuesdays it is open noon to 8:00pm.  Our resources focus on Niles and the immediately surrounding area.  Because many of the items available here are unique or out-of-print, most cannot be checked out.  However, there is a copier conveniently located inside the room.  Copies are fifteen cents each.  Our experienced staff will be happy to assist you with local history and genealogy research.
