Library Closed Monday and Wednesday

The Clay County Genealogy Library will be closed Monday, Jan . 26th, and Wednesday, January 28th, due to heavy snow and extremely cold temperatures.

The library will be open the following week on February 2nd.  If you need to visit the library on a day we are not open, call at least a week in advance to make an appointment.  There is a $10.00 charge for opening the library on unscheduled days for 3 hours.

Open House December 20, 2025

We appreciate everyone’s patience while the new library was being built.  The Center Point Fire Department men and women, as well as several community members, helped move the shelves, boxes, furniture, etc. from the old building to the new one.  We could not have done it without their kind and efficient help.

The old shelves have been painted, and we have been placing books on the shelves.  We will have an Open House for everyone to visit the new library on December 20th from 2:00 – 4:00.

Unfortunately, we have one more step before we can officially open to the public. As you know, many people take vacation time or companies close for the holidays. We need a final inspection from the Indiana State Fire Marshal’s office to be open for business. The investigators will not be back to work until after January 5, 2026, so we have to wait. We know this is an inconvenience, but it’s out of our hands.

We will continue to accept research requests via phone (812-835-5005) or email (Researchclaycounty@frontier.com). Please do not send them through Facebook Messenger or this webpage; for some reason neither site gets messages to the library. We will respond to you as quickly as we can.

See you December 20th between 2:00 and 4:00.
