Comprised of library-owned materials and the collection of the Williamson County Genealogical Society, the genealogy collection is located on the north side of the third floor of the library and focuses on United States genealogy, the Southern states, Texas, and Williamson and surrounding counties.
Most of the collection does not circulate. However, we do have some beginners’ guides that may be checked out.
