We know money is tight. We're here to help! Your Paola Free Library card gives you instant access to Hoopla. Ask us to help you get signed up for a free State Library of Kansas ecard for access to Cloud Library.

PLUS we offer free wifi in and near our building 24/7! We do have Wireless Hotspots (Verizon) available for checkout as well for at-home use. However, be aware that there is always a waiting list, so it's important to turn your hotspot back in promptly at the two week due date!

There's still time to sign up for our Linocut workshop this Tuesday, August 25th, from 5-7pm. This is an adult only event, due to the use of sharp tools. Free to attend, but suggested donation of $5 per person if you wish to support future Maker events!
