Inventory of Columbia County Resources
in Connie Lenzen's Library

I use my on-site genealogical library of books, microfilms, and CDs for client projects. It saves time and money when the resource is next to my computer.

If you find a book that interests you, use WorldCat to locate it in a library and request it on Interlibrary Loan.
