Welcome

Roanoke Public Library Logo        

“Providing access to knowledge and information to inform, educate, entertain and serve.”  

Due to staff being unavailable, the Roanoke Library will be closed on Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025.  We are hoping to re-open on Sat., Sept. 13.

I wanted to let you know that the Indiana State Library is scheduling two Aspen catalog reindexes that will align with the next two library migrations. The first one will begin on Saturday, August 30th and should be completed by Monday, September 1st. The second reindex will begin on Saturday, September 27th  and should be completed by Monday, September 29th.  Remember that these reindexes sever the connection between Evergreen and Aspen, so Aspen is basically offline. Evergreen Indiana will still be up and running.

Preschool Story Time on Tuesdays at 10:30 am. Program last about 45 minutes. Class size is limited. Registration is preferred. Enjoy stories, crafts, songs, and fun activities. Sept. 2nd-camping and fishing; 9th-show & tell; 16th-fun with blocks; 23rd-fun with puzzles and 30th hello fall.

Need material from the Roanoke Public Library, but cannot get here when we are open?  Our solution: introducing “After Hours Pick-Up”.  Call us and let us know what to pull for you and we will place in a plastic bag in a secure locker for you to pick up at the time that works for you.  The lockers are located right off the parking lot (across from 4th Street) near the “Parking Lot” entrance under an overhang that is well lighted.  A code will be given to you to enter your locker.  Instructions for opening the lockers will be located on both sides of the lockers.


It's Here! The Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium app is now available!

For more information on the Evergreen Indiana App, ask the Library Director.
