The Madison County Library will be closed from Thursday, November 26th through Sunday, November 29th in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. We feel especially grateful for our patrons during this holiday season!

  Come and Get a Child’s Seasonal Craft Kit And Literacy Activity!                                   

Parents and Guardians:

Please call by Wednesday of this week for a Free Seasonal Craft Kit and Literacy Activity for your child! This kit will be available for pick up at the Madison County Library. Just call us at 948-4720 or email us at froebuck@madisoncountyvalibrary.org. Let us know your name and how many kits you’d like to pick up (curbside or inside the building) for your children. Please ask for one kit per child ages 3 through 7 years old.

*Also, be sure to “Like” our Facebook Page and watch the Story Time video. This week’s book is Thanksgiving at the Tappleton’s. Miss Fran will share a new book on Facebook each week!

The Library’s hours are back!!

     Starting Sept 8th, the library will have its normal hours again.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10-5pm

Tuesday, Thursday        10-8pm

Saturday               10-2pm

We are still supplying curbside service for those who prefer not to come in, and Wi-Fi Service is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week.  It reaches to our parking lot, so that you may sit in your car or on our benches and enjoy our connections.

The Library has added several new databases to our research page, including Gale with encyclopedias for each grade level, and Newsbank with 3,500 newspapers, including our own Eagle.  Please check them out…they are an awesome resource.

We are following CDC guidelines for sanitizing loaned books, etc. We will require all patrons to wear a mask, use hand sanitizer upon entry, and have a temperature check along with a few quick questions. Floors will be marked so that all will adhere to social distancing.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Please be mindful about overdue books, movies, etc. and return them. Fines are acruing again. Thank you for looking around for whatever you may still have checked out. Feel free to call us to check for you and be certain that your account is clear.

Update: Library now closed until further notice.  In the meantime, don’t forget that Overdrive is available to you online so you can download e-books and audio books. Your library card number gets entered after selecting our library. Then enter your pin number, which is the last four numbers on your library card. No fines will be  accrued during this time that we are closed.  If you do not have a library card, call the Library between 10-12 Mon-Fri and we can issue you one over the phone.
