| We’re happy to say “We’re still here”! I know it’s been awhile since we sent out an email, but we are happy to say “we’re still here” even if we haven’t been open. Pierce County (the county where we are located) has moved to the Phase 2 of the COVID-19 recovery. For us at the library, it means that we must make sure that we are able to accommodate our patrons in a safe environment. We must be able to protect our volunteers, members and patrons before we are allowed to re-open. In the mean time we are working on ways to help you with your Genealogy. 1) If you are a current member of Heritage Quest Research Library, when you access our webpage, click on the Members tab. It will take you to the log in page. Log in and you will see the name Ancestry remote login under members. Click on it and you’re IN! 2) Can’t find the time to do research? We have the volunteers who are able to do the research for you. Our assistance rate is $15.00 per hour. Send inquiries to: research@hqrl.com 3) Our Webmaster and our Technology gurus are working to adapt our Pay Pal account to accept your membership payments. We’re not there yet, but hope to be soon. If you regularly pay by mail, that’s OK too. Our office manager is picking up our mail on a regular basis. 4) We are also working on ways to bring Genealogy to you! Many of the Gen Societies and Heritage Groups are doing classes remotely. We are working on that too! We sincerely care about all our members and patrons. We have your health in our hearts. Be well, stay healthy and we will see you soon! Heritage Quest Research Library Management Team and Board of Trustees |
