A goal of the Genealogy Center is to provide regular educational programming. To that end, the Center offers at least one lecture or workshop each month on-site at the Allen County Public Library. In March the Center offers "March Madness," a week's worth of seminars. In October - Family History Month - there is a lecture or other educational opportunity at the library during each day of the month. In many years, October's special events culminate with extended hours on one Friday night, unofficially referred to as "Midnight Madness." For more information about upcoming programs, interested individuals may consult [http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/programs.html Genealogy Special Programs] on the Center's website. | A goal of the Genealogy Center is to provide regular educational programming.

If your group is planning a visit to the Genealogy Center, please call and let the staff know the date(s) of your visit, what time you plan to arrive and depart, the approximate number in your group, and to provide the name and telephone number of a contact person for your organization. This allows the Center to ensure that an adequate number of staff will be available to answer questions your group may have. During this initial telephone contact, you may wish to schedule a tour of the Center for your group as well, or ask that a packet of informational material be sent in advance of your visit. If the dates for your group's visit are flexible, you might ask when you call whether other groups have chosen the same dates and then modify your plans accordingly if you prefer a less-busy time. Having a contact name and telephone number allows the Center to contact your group in the case of a weather-related or other unscheduled closing of the library. | If your group is planning a visit to the Genealogy Center, please call 260-421-1225 and let the staff know the date(s) of your visit, what time you plan to arrive and depart, the approximate number in your group, and to provide the name and telephone number of a contact person for your organization.
