Have you seen the news?!?!
CGS is getting new sticks-and-bricks digs AND new online digs!
Our president, Roger Prince, announced that at the board meeting on Saturday, final approval was given to not only rebuild the website (and its backend set-up), but also a move of our Library from Oakland to Berkeley.
The new space in Berkeley looks amazing from my Google street view of it, anyway! Still blocks away from a quick BART trip, I am excited to see it bloom under the great mastery of our library folks and remodeling starts soon! The grand opening should be mid to late summer 2026 and there are a few things you can do to help.
- Volunteer! CGS *ALWAYS* needs volunteers. Visit our volunteer page at: https://www.californiaancestors.org/volunteer-opportunities/ to see existing opportunities and there will be more added as we work through the grand opening!
- Take some books! We have a number of volumes in our library currently that will be decommissioned and not moved to the new location. Go browse that collection and work with the librarian to sticky note those you’d like to take home before the move.
