  1. Does this library has a Genealogy group that meets at least once a month?

  2. Thanks for asking! Sarasota County Libraries have various workshops/trainings provided by subject experts at times. Check the library's events calendar (https://scgovlibrary.librarymarket.com/events/month) and use the keyword "genealogy" to find these listings. For regular meetings, you might like to connect with the Genealogical Society of Sarasota: https://www.gssfl.org/ According to their website, they meet at the Gulf Gate Library on the 2nd Saturday of each month.
