What an amazing day!

A huge thank you to all of the volunteers, city employees, and attendees who joined us at yesterday’s Earth Day event. Our Friends of the Anna Community Library had an amazing Second Annual Book Sale, and we were thrilled to meet so many neighbors enjoying the beautiful weather and exploring our new library.

We received countless compliments on our setup this year. Using round tables gave everyone plenty of space to browse comfortably, and it was wonderful to watch families building their own home libraries. We were equally excited to see how many adults proudly shared that they, too, are avid readers.

Thank you for supporting our library, our mission, and our growing community of readers.

Extended Access at the Anna Community Library

Extended Access (EA) allows members to use the library outside of regular staffed hours. Once enrolled, your library card becomes your access card, giving you added flexibility to visit on your schedule.

During Extended Access hours, the library is self-service and available for quiet activities such as studying, remote work, computer use and family time in the children’s area. Study rooms are also available.

To enroll, members must:

Bring your library card and a photo ID.
Ask staff to activate EA on your card.
Complete a brief, in-person orientation during regular staffed hours.

Staff will issue a new library card, if expired or if you do not have one.

During orientation, staff will review account information, explain key procedures and have you sign the Extended Access Agreement. You will receive an email confirmation once your access is activated.

Learn more about Extended Access on the Anna Community Library website.
