The Friends of the University Park Public Library is excited to host genealogist and Google Guru Lisa Louise Cooke on Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at the University Park Public Library.  In this program, Ms. Cooke will unleash advanced search strategies for genealogy that you probably aren’t using but will be able to put into practice right away.
