Openings for members who would like to volunteer are available for 2023, on Thursday evenings between 7:00 and 9:00 pm at the Wheaton Public
Library. Volunteers direct clients to the sources or records they are seeking, rather than doing the actual research for them. Training is available to familiarize you with the resources available at the library, and working jointly with existing volunteers helps to familiarize you with the procedures used to assist those seeking help.
