Upcoming Events

 * The Llano Branch is hosting indexing training at the Llano County Library August 6, 2015 at 6:00pm. This will not be a lecture; rather, participants can expect hands-on, active training from consultants as they assist with indexing actual records. Please bring laptops or compatible tablets as computers are limited. Increased traffic will slow the library's Internet connection significantly, so we also ask attendants to bring and share hotspots.
 * "Fuel the Find" by participating in the Worldwide Indexing Event hosted by FamilySearch. The goal of this week-long event (August 7-14) is to have 100,000 volunteers worldwide.

Class Schedule
