In this story
Start close to home
Pittsylvania County Public Library lists its Gretna branch at 207 Coffey Street, with telephone number 434-290-3223. Regular hours shown are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Sunday is listed as closed.
Check the library's own notices before a holiday visit. A regular-hours listing cannot confirm a same-day opening or the availability of a particular service.
Give a history question a starting place
The system's History Research Center and Library is listed at 340 Whitehead Street in Chatham, telephone 434-432-8931. Its published regular hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
For a question about a person, team, church or business, bring the name, an approximate date and what you already know. Keep family memory separate from a document's wording, and record where each detail came from.
Those habits help an archive preserve people accurately without turning an uncertain recollection into an established fact.
