Welcome

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

Library will be closed on Monday, September 7th for Labor Day.

Have a Happy Holiday!

Evergreen Indiana’s Aspen Discovery Layer is scheduled to be upgraded to version 26.06 (or 26.07) on Friday, September 4th (specific times TBD). Aspen will be down for a few hours while Equinox runs the updates.

This update will require a full reindex, and it will be scheduled to begin on Sunday, Sept 6th (specific time TBD). That should provide a 24+ hour window during the holiday to complete the reindex before libraries that are closed for Labor Day (7th) open on the 8th.

During that update, OverDrive /Libby will also be updated. It will now absolutely require a pin to sign-in. If you have already setup the pin, you will just need to confirm. If you need to reset your pin, please contact the library and we can assist you with that. (Remember your pin and password for anything dealing with the library are the same thing.)

Family Movie Matinee-"Minions and Monsters" 1 hour and 30 minutes, rated PG. Saturday Sept. 26th 1pm, Free event, Movie will be shown on the library's large movie screen. Snacks are provided. You're welcome to bring snacks to share.

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 4^th 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 near the lockers.

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