[CA--SCGS] The SCGS Library Will Remain Closed Through the End of May 2020

Due to the spread of Covid-19 and information gained from health providers instructing people over 60 to avoid even small gatherings and as a preventative measure for slowing the spread of the virus against which there is no known protection, the SCGS library will be remain closed to researchers through the end of May 2020. 

At this time, we are working with all of our SCGS Interest Groups (Ethnic, Computer Software, Writer's Group, and DNA) to organize online meetings for the month of May. We will post those updates once each group has finalized their plans.

Please note that our Jamboree Webinar Extension Series will go on as planned. We look forward to 'seeing' you online!
