A few days ago, FamilySearch posted a blog about changes they are making both in layout and in service at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
The blog covers the following 5 major points. Click to get more in-depth info from the post itself.
- Reference desks on the B1, B2, and 2nd floors are being removed and new consultation areas are being placed on each floor.
- Guests can visit with a scheduler who will give them a restaurant-style pager. They will then be paged, allowing consultation time with library specialists.
- Photo scanning equipment that can be used to scan photos and documents is now accessible.
- Family Story booths are available where it is possible to make a video and audio recording of family stories and save them to a flash drive.
- A children’s area where parents can entertain their children while a family member works on their family history in the Library is now available.
