The Library is an open-to-the-public non-profit genealogy research library managed and staffed entirely by volunteers.
The award of Genealogy Library of the Year in 2019 and 2020 is an honor that is proudly held as the Library's standard for service. The book collection includes in excess of 3,700 titles and 200 maps in addition to a book cart where you may purchase used genealogy books.
With gratitude, since 2018, the Library has operated under the umbrella of the La Posada Foundation, a 501 (c)(3). Unlike many research libraries, the GVSGL boasts a limited circulation policy which allows research at home as well as in the Library.
Catalog

Whether you are a seasoned researcher or just beginning your family history journey, the Library's user-friendly searchable database helps you locate materials by subject of interest, location, surname, title, author or even call number.

"A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people.
It is a never failing spring in the desert."
Andrew Carnegie
