The Kern County Genealogical Society provides volunteers to staff the Genealogy Room in the Beale Memorial Library, which is located  at 701 Truxtun Avenue in downtown Bakersfield.  It was organized in March 1964 for the purpose of helping people learn about Genealogy and to aid them in their genealogy research.  The volunteers hours are from 1-4 PM Tuesday through Saturday.  The library provides access to Ancestry on two computers in the Genealogy Room; one is for use by the volunteers to answer patrons questions and the other is for use by patrons who are familiar with computer based research.  The Society also regularly purchases genealogy books with money from dues, donations and fund raisers.  These are then donated to the Beale Library for use in the genealogy room, and entered into the Library's electronic catalogue.
