===Preparation for a successful group experience.===
 
Group Size: Because of our staffing, regular patrons, facility and equipment limits we limit the total of visitors in groups to 35 per session. This can be a single group or multiple groups meeting separately or combined. Please do not come to the library with more than 6 people without a group reservation. This ensures that staff, building facilities and computers will be available to support your group and their objectives.<br> Request Procedure: All requests for group visits should be made using the link below for the online registration form. Telephone reservations are not accepted. Each request will be confirmed by email within 1-2 days, please check for your confirmation and reply to it acknowledging your agreement with and receipt of it. If your preferred date is not available, one of the alternate dates you request will be selected and confirmed. If none of your dates are available you will be advised to submit a new request. Because we often are at scheduled capacity, please do not bring a group to the library on a night your reservation has not been confirmed.<br> Available Times: Evening group visits (Tue, Wed, &amp; Thu) will begin either at 6:00 PM or 7:15 PM. and all visits will last for one hour and fifteen minutes. Daytime reservations (Mon thru Sat) will be accepted for any time between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Groups need to conclude their visit, including any time for refreshments, no later than 8:45 PM.<br> Refreshments: If you would like to serve refreshments as part of your group visit, please make a notation in the remarks of the registration form so we can coordinate the requests. Refreshments are only allowed in the building cafeteria.<br> Supervision: Adults accompanying youth groups should prepare to actively participate with their youth. For example: if the youth will participate in Indexing, then each adult in the group should be registered and have some experience with Indexing before the visit. Local family history consultants are an excellent resource to bring with your group and will provide continuity after your visit.<br> Printing: Copies of any documents found during your visit can be printed at the library for a nominal charge $.05 per copy.&nbsp;

They can do this by going to https://ldsaccount.lds.org and clicking on the Register for an LDS Account button on the right side of the screen and entering the necessary information, which includes their church membership number and birth date. Their membership number is on their temple recommend or can be provided by their ward clerk.
 
Personal Family History Information: Except for Indexing visits, please have everyone attempt to create a personal Pedigree Chart with as much family information as possible.
 
Specific Goal or Objective to Accomplish: Each group should have an idea or goal, before they arrive, of what they would like to accomplish during the visit to our library.
