If you are an unpracticed genealogist, you may not know exactly what to bring with you when going to a genealogy library. Here are some helpful items that all together would fit into a small bag.
Bring a camera (but remember to ask permission before taking pictures), pencils and an eraser, a flashlight, any medications you might need, a magnifying glass, money for parking meters and copy machines, 5 subject notebooks, post-it notes, paper clips, a calculator for calculating costs, ages, distances, band-aids for paper cuts, and a small handpack of Kleenex.
I would even throw in a Thumb Drive in case the information can be saved from a computer without needing to photocopy.
