The library has a truly impressive genealogy and history collection which is growing daily.

Director David Weatherford, who says, "We now have over 6500 books and documents in the genealogy collection. And, we are now the largest genealogical library in Northwest Florida." David has enlarged and framed about 50 photos of life in the area. These 1920 photos are displayed around the library near the ceiling. He has also reoriented the genealogy section, making it more pleasing and easier to use. Plans are to finish a room where patrons may use microform readers without disturbing others. The filing cabinets housing this material are already in the room. Photo on right is the lounge area in the genealogy section
