Linesville Community Public Library

Goal: $4,000.00

Specific Need

We would like to replace our tables and chairs with new tables and chairs that will create more flexible seating configurations with the different programs we offer here at our library. The chairs we would like to upgrade have wheels making it easier for people to move in and out from the table with ease compared to our older heavy tables and chairs. Our patrons are excited to see this upgrade so we have moved this to a high priority for our library this year.

Mission

The mission of the Linesville Community Public Library is to be a vital and welcoming community partner that encourages personal connection, lifelong learning, and enjoyment.

Our library will not only provide information and media that will enrich lives and nurture a love of reading for all ages but also provide a multitude of other resources/media/technology that would benefit individuals and families in our community.

The objectives of the library support its missions and goals as the library strives to provide materials and services that reflect the diverse educational, informational, and recreational needs of all its users.

Profile

The Linesville Community Public Library moved to its current location that used to be a Universalist Church in 1989. Since then we have restored the stain-glassed windows and the cathedral ceiling in the kids room as well as put new siding and deck on the outside. Being in a church has made us unique and we capitalize all the floor space we have offering fishing poles and tackleboxes, magazines, and books that can be checked out. We also have a puzzle swap shelf and sharing shelves full of food and clothes as well various programs for all ages. We strive to continue to change to meet the needs of our community with big future plans of expanding to create a much needed meeting space for our community.
