Last update: April 28, 2013

            Meetings are held on the second Sunday of each month in the GSSI library section of John A. Logan College in Carterville, Illinois. The College is otherwise closed on weekends, but the East Entrance of Building E will be open especially for GSSI. There are no meetings in July or August.    

          The Genealogy Society of Southern Illinois' collection of genealogy and history books and microforms in the John A. Logan College Library may be used beginning at noon on meeting days, and whenever the College Library is open during the week.  For current library hours consult the JALC Library website or call 618-985-2828, Ext. 8338.
