Our newsletter for September-December is hot off the presses and ready for you to pick up anytime you pop in the library. Now, popping in is a little trickier than usual, so you might want to check out our Renovation Update info. We’re hoping everything will be done by the end of October, but before […]
I like to read. I have no doubt all of you find that shocking, but I do. I really, really do. I listen to audiobooks in the car, I pop open an ebook with my morning coffee, I curl up with a hardback on the couch at night. I’ve always got at least a couple […]
I spend a lot of time in front of a computer. I’m on one most of the day at work, and my primary hobby is writing, so I’m usually on my laptop at home. Lately, it’s led to me having some problems with eyestrain, so I’ve been fiddling with the settings on my computer as […]
A new book comes out and you’re dying to get your hands on it, or at least your metaphorical hands because the book is available for download from the Ohio Digital Library on the Libby app. There’s a hold list for this marvelous book (drat!), so you put yourself on the list and wait. And […]

In my job, I run across books I want to read pretty much all the time. Now, I could check them out or place them on hold the moment I see them, but then I would end up with stacks of both real and virtual books and audiobooks I don’t have time to read at […]
This past March we tried out a new event we called #LibraryMadness. Much like the NCAA’s March Madness basketball tournament (but renamed to avoid the trademark infringement), we took 64 books that NCPL patrons nominated during February and seeded them in 4 Divisions and let you vote matchup-by-matchup for your favorite book ever. The winner […]
