Library:
RGS maintains a library for the use of members and guests. We currently have available about 850 interesting and helpful books videos, cassettes, pamphlets, etc. We are currently working with the Roseville City Library to develop a genealogy library located downstairs at the old Carnegie Library in Roseville. We will then be able to expand our collection and resources.
 
Our library at the Carnegie will soon be ready to be open to our members and the public. Our librarian and her assistants have been working getting Dewey numbers on all our books, etc. and are very close to completion. Our plan is to be open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
 
We hope to have a complete listing of our books available soon. Although we are still in the process of cataloging our books, you can view our expanding catalog at: www.librarything.com/catalog/rgsca

Roseville Public Library now has Heritage Quest and Ancestry.com available. With a Roseville Library card you can access Heritage Quest from home. Computers are available in the Library for you to access Ancestry.com.
