The Joyce Public Library serves the town of Orland, IN, and the surrounding area of Millgrove Township. We also house Orland's historical collections.

The Joyce Public Library was founded by Dr. William Joyce and his two sisters, Mary Joyce McKinley and Eliza Joyce. It was dedicated on March 24th, 1903, as a gift to the town, and occupied the second story of the brick building at the corner of State Road 120 and State Road 327. The original library, with its oak woodwork and cork floors, remains on the second floor. The second floor of the building also houses the historical collections of the town of Orland (viewing by appointment). The current town library on the first floor was renovated in 1995, and has many class photos of Orland High School from 1897-1964. We have winter and summer reading programs for children. we also sponsor a boat in the United Way's Cardboard Boat Regatta each summer, and participate in Orland Town Cruise-Ins (the town fills with historic cars once a month in summer). Please stop in and see us for more information!

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW: A copy of the updated Steuben County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan that Steuben County Emergency Management has been working on is now available for viewing by the public. Today starts a two week period where individuals can view the plan and submit comments back to their office. Once the public viewing period is over, all comments will be sent to a contracted vendor before the plan goes before the Commissioners for approval and adoption. You can stop at Joyce Public Library in the next two weeks and review the plan for yourself. Our hours are Tuesdays 4-8 p.m., Wednesdays 1-5 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to Noon. Your input will be helpful to them to complete the project. Thank you for your support during this project.

I'll confess...I stole this idea from another library but we've only begun and librarians and patrons (young & old) are already loving it. Stop by and add a word to the Library Scrabble Tabletop.

Today was the last day of our Middle School Summer Reading Club. We had three young ladies who did a terrific job of creating their own Fractured Fairytale. They took an existing, traditional fairytale and took what they learned about character development, creating a representation of where the story takes place, drew illustrations to go with their story and created a book cover. I was so impressed with the work that they did and how they embraced the project! I hope they had as much fun doing it as I had watching the progress they made over 6 weeks. As a reward they got to pick a Juvenile Fiction book from the library and were treated to sweet treats at Sweet Summers in Orland. Hope to see them again next summer. Have to start thinking of a fun thing for them to do! (Picture attached is not their work...😕I forgot to take a picture!)
