What's new at your library? Top Big changes are coming to the Northeast Branch in Waverly! We will soon begin construction on the Waverly branch which will bring you more space, more computers, improved parking and two quiet study rooms that can be converted to a public meeting room. However as the old saying goes, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, and we will have to close the building to the public during the construction. Waverly's last open day will be Sunday, February 7th. We anticipate re-opening in the middle of May to a beautifully remodeled building. Beginning Monday, February 15th, the Brooklyn Branch will be open seven days per week to help serve Waverly's patrons. The Brooklyn Branch is located just seven miles from Waverly. Just take Centenary Road south of State Road 144, then turn right on to Mill Street and look for the red awning. Click here for a map. Top Microfilm Workshop Wednesday, February 10th at 7:00 p.m. Have you ever wondered what was going on in world on the day you were born? Have you misplaced a news article or obituary that had sentimental meaning? Have you ever meandered back to the genealogy department and wondered what those machines do? We are here to help! Join us for our microfilm workshop. We will spend the evening just going over the basics. Recently, the library received a generous Library Services Technology Act (LSTA) grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services that is administered through the Indiana State Library.
