Wayne County Public Library

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARIES!

Much has changed in the Wayne County Libraries over the past decade.

The addition of on-line databases and downloadable books has changed the way your local library operates in the community. Now by going to our website, students can find answers through the resources offered on the Library Databases link. On our front page we have a link to OverDrive, a resource that has downloadable books. As the popular phrase says, "we are now available to the public 24/7."

We are happy to announce that now the C-K and Wayne branch libraries have photocopiers that can make color copies. That is something that has been requested by patrons in both communities for some time. Cost of color copies is 25 cents per page.

All three libraries can scan items for customers. At C-K and Wayne, the photocopier also acts as a scanner. Items can be scanned and saved to a flash drive.

One thing that has remained constant is how Wayne County Libraries are funded. The library system receives local funding from the County Commission (via levy), Board of Education, Kenova (levy) and Ceredo. Fort Gay and Wayne provide services. The libraries appreciate all the support these local entities have given since the 1980s.

The libraries will continue to offer books and other materials to check out along with public Internet and traditional programs such as story hour and the Summer Reading program.

The next few years for the Wayne County Libraries will continue to see changes through new technologies or the way customers use the libraries. Funding will always be of importance to libraries as state and local budgets become tighter. Levy elections will be coming up in future years and we are proud that Wayne County voters have shown their support at the ballot box time after time.

Thank you for your continued support of Wayne County Libraries.
