Library Corner
Do you know that the Pittsburg Library has a Genealogy Department? It’s named the Faye McMinn Genealogical Research Center. Most of our books in the Genealogy Department are from Faye McMinn’s personal home library. The Department is open 3 days a week, Monday through Wednesday. We have 3 wonderful volunteers that will help you with family history and the Genealogy Department has many record books on families and states. The Pittsburg Gazette is now online! Call us or stop by to get the information to log on. If you are searching for a relative or someone in Camp County, please send your information to the Pittsburg Library, call, or stop by and visit with one of our volunteers!
