that library system has "set up" the High Ridge Library as the Genealogy Library especially since it is the home of the Gen. Society. I dont think its meant they dont wish to have them but the genealogy references becomes overwhelming for space. Even DeSoto Library is limited on space. ...I know that doesn't help those who are in this end of the county, me included since I moved back from High Ridge to Festus, but if you would like to keep the refs in this end of the county, Festus library would appreciate them and so will Crystal Library who is starting a genealogy section.
