The Bolivar-Hardeman County Library Genealogical Society is now forming for any interested individuals in the county. Our purpose is to join together to research family history. Each member can conduct research into his/her own family connections. Society members will aide one another in developing research techniques and inlocating various sources of information. The Bolivar-Hardeman County Library provides an extensive collection of research materials to members and participates in the Tennessee state wide inter-library loan program wherein materials from other state libraries may be sent to our local library. In addition our library subscribes to ancestral databases and would be available to society members with a library card.

The Bolivar-Hardeman County Library Genealogical Society will meet on the third Saturday of each month at 10:00am at the library. It is located at 213 N. Washington St in Bolivar, TN. Annual dues ($10.00) will be collected in August of each year. The funds will help pay the Society expenses for printed materials used during meetings, newletters, and postage. In addition, it is recommended that each member obtain a library card in order to access all materials. The first library card issued to an individual is free. If you have questions you may contact the library at 658-3436 for further info. All are welcome and we hope that you will consider joining us August 18th for an enjoyable time in finding links to the past.
