Do you have an interest in researching and sharing the story of London's heritage? The London Public Library Board has a vacancy on its volunteer Historic Sites Committee and is inviting applications from the community by March 28.
The Historic Sites Committee researches buildings, places and people of local historic significance and shares the research with the community through on-site commemorative plaques, research archives held in the London Room at Central Library and the Library's website.
