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].

Just some random pics of our happenings at the Eastern Branch this past week.

Check out those ghost paintings! I think we may have a future Bob Ross or two on our hands!

Look at how those kiddos are concentrating on their painting also! The girls from the Recovery Council, Kayla and Brooklyn, are awesome! The kids love them and they are so great with them! They will be at our Community Fall Fest on the 27th so be sure to stop by and chat with them! They are a wonderful asset to our community!
