photo of after hours lockersNeed 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!
