Volunteers Make It Possible
Our open hours depend on dedicated volunteers. No experience? No problem! New volunteers are paired with experienced ones to learn the ropes. It’s a fun way to meet people, expand your own genealogy knowledge, and keep the library open for all. Even an occasional gift of your time makes a big difference.

The Hoffman Research Library accepts donations of books and materials for our collection.

Please review our Collection Development Policy to see the types of materials we can accept. Donations may be brought to the welcome desk during library hours.

Thank you for your generosity!

Gifts from our members strengthen our collection and provide new resources for all researchers seeking to discover their roots.
