The Madison County Library no longer maintains a Facebook Page

The Madison County Library is now a Family Search Affiliate Library. Visit the library and we can help you create a Family Search account and help you get started on researching your family history and creating a family tree. 

"Hundreds of FamilySearch affiliate libraries are helping extend FamilySearch’s services to millions of patrons worldwide. Although FamilySearch manages the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, and over 5,000 family history centers throughout the world, it recognizes the invaluable need for library affiliates to help more patrons make personal family history connections. 

Affiliate libraries (whether public, special, or university) have access to FamilySearch’s digital genealogical collections that are otherwise accessible only through a FamilySearch family history center. FamilySearch also provides its affiliates with the latest tools and tips for genealogy reference librarians." 

 The Madison County Library is a Department of Madison County and is governed by the Judge and the Commissioners. Their contact information is available here:

Pronunciator Language Learning  with over 80 languages is available for library patrons.  Simply  go to https://madison.biblionix.com/catalog/ and log in to your library account in the top right hand corner.  Then click on the link for Pronunciator  under Electronic Resources and set up your account.  Once you have a Pronunciator account, you can access it from any computer or download the app to your phone.
