Yesterday I took a break from camping and met up with my mom to go the the BC Genealogical Society's
Walter Draycott Library in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The library is free to the public this week so mom and I decided to go and check it out. For a small space they sure have a lot of resources packed inside, over 13,000 books, periodicals, CDs and microfilmed records! Everything was extremely well organized and if you are looking for genealogical resources this would be a great place to go. You can join the
BC Genealogical Society for $45 and use or check-out their resources anytime they are open, or you can go and use the library for the day for only $5, however, you cannot check-out books unless you are a member.
The best surprise of the day though was meeting Diane Rogers. Diane was one of the first followers of my blog, a fellow member of the
Scrapaholics scrapbooking Meetup group I belong to and a fellow member of
Genea-Bloggers, but I hadn't yet met her. It was so nice to finally meet Diane and I know I will be seeing her a lot more often as I intend to make good use of the library resources in the future. Diane and I had our picture taken outside of the library and you can check it out on her blog,
CanadaGenealogy, or, 'Jane's Your Aunt'.
That is so cool! I didn't anything about that library. thanks for letting everyone know! looking forward to seeing you at the next crop CamperWoman!
