📱🎧📖 THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO READ!

For National Book Month, we're celebrating readers of all kinds—because sometimes the best book is the one that fits into your life.

Love the feel of a book in your hands? We've got shelves full of them.

Listen while you drive, walk, cook, or relax? Try an audiobook.

Prefer reading on your phone or tablet? Libby gives library cardholders FREE access to ebooks and digital audiobooks right from their device.

And if you're not sure how Libby works, stop by the library. We'd be happy to help you get started!

Read it. Listen to it. Borrow it. Discover it. However you read, there's room for you here.

Where is Ms. Jaimee? That mystery will be uncovered this summer! But for now, that means no story time tomorrow. We'll see you next week for story time at the depot!

A wider welcome! ❤️📚

Our new front doors are in, and there's more to this change than meets the eye! Our old entrance had a single door for entering and exiting the library, which could be a very tight squeeze for some. The new entrance has double doors that can both be opened, providing a much wider opening for larger wheelchairs and mobility scooters, and making it easier for parents and caregivers with strollers, too.

It's one more way our renovated and expanded library will be more welcoming and easier to use for EVERYONE in our community. ❤️

Come on over to depot and shop today from now until 4pm!

Grab your headphones, or talking buddy and join us for Audiobook Walking Club! Weather permitting, we will meet at the park entrance closest to the High Forest Meeting Room at 5:30 PM. If inclement weather looks to be headed our way, we will make the call on the walk by 4:30 PM.

Who remembers the bookmobile? ❤️📚

This photograph, published in the November 27, 1958, issue of the Lewis County Herald, shows a new bookmobile from the Blue Grass Regional Library Center visiting the Lewis County Library when it was located in the courthouse.

In our early years, regional bookmobiles and book deposit stations in stores throughout Lewis County helped put books within reach for residents across the county. The collections at the deposit stations were changed periodically so readers would have a fresh supply of books to choose from.

Do you remember visiting the bookmobile or borrowing books from one of the deposit stations?
