Digital Library Card: ohio.ent.sirsi.net/custom/web/ Whether you want to relax with a good book or a movie, apply for a job, work on a resume, sign up for public services, make copies, send a fax or file your taxes, we can help! Wilson Public Library of Pike County has been serving the growing needs of county residents since 1939, with a main library located in Waverly, and 3 branches throughout the county! We participate in a state-wide sharing system, gaining access to materials from nearly 100 libraries in Ohio! We are running a campaign entitled "The Next Chapter" to raise money for a new main library facility in Waverly. Our current location has served us well, but as parts of our library are over 100 years old and is a former chicken hatchery and livery stable, time-consistent wear and the ever growing needs of the community show us the necessity of having a library facility that is designed to be a library. Even the current parking is a challenge, as we have only 12 spaces, only one of which is suitable for handicapped parking. Contributing to the building of a public library has positive, longstanding effects for years to come, and will aid the residents of Pike County for generations. If you would like to contribute and be part of this historic event, simply go to https://www.pikecountylibrary.org/donate to donate. We also have created the Pike County Library Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization whose purpose is to raise money for the Garnet A. Wilson Public Library, more specifically to help us build the new building. For more information on how to donate directly to the Foundation, contact Jennifer Wright at 740-947-4921 or email at [email protected].

Tuesday evening we had our first Community Fall Fest! We played games, ate food and had lots of fun! There were a few things I learned during this event: some folks are serious about their bingo, cake walks will always be a fun event, but more than anything, our library community is hands down the absolute best! From the cookbook club ladies who baked and donated all of the yummy cakes for the cake walk without hesitation,to Kayla and Brooklyn from the recovery council who always show up without fail wanting to know how they can help, to friends and volunteers that always show up, jump in wherever needed and stay behind to help clean up and put things away when all is said and done. Libraries are a vital part to any community but more importantly, communities are a vital part to the library. We may provide services but you give us life, and for that the words thank you just don’t seem to be enough. I hope those that we depend on so much, who show up time after time or help behind the scenes and call last minute and ask if they can help, know just how much they are loved and appreciated!
