Limited Research Hours at Hoffman Research Library
The Hoffman Research Library reopened in early July for limited library service on Saturdays, from 10 AM to 2 PM provided that two library volunteers are available in the building. Wearing masks, social distancing, and self-cleaning directions are other parts of the new rules for library use.
Admission is by advance reservation and, at this time, is limited to 8 patrons for two hours at a time: 10 AM - 12 Noon and Noon - 2 PM. The library is available for use by members of IGSI and all other genealogy societies located at the Minnesota Genealogy Center. Members of IGSI can make a reservation for a 2-hour slot (morning or afternoon) by using the Minnesota Genealogy Center’s Sign Up Genius website https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904044BAFAE2FA1FD0-hoffman.
Please contact research@irishgenealogical.org in advance if you plan to visit the library and anticipate needing advice or assistance with your Irish research.
