September 15th - October 15th is Hispanic Heritage Month!

The establishment of this began in 1968 with a week devoted to Hispanic Heritage that coincided with the independence of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua celebrated on September 15th as well as Mexico’s independence on September 16. You can find our Spanish language section next to the Citizenship Corner, upstairs, on the northside of the Library! To learn more, visit Hispanic Heritage Month as well as the Library of Congress for resources related to Hispanic Exploration

Local funding depends on your response!

Local government, school funding, your library, highways, and so much more depend upon your being counted!

The number of representatives we have depends upon your response!

Representation depends on how many people reside within our cities, counties and states!

It takes about 5 minutes to respond to this year's census!

You can do it!

If it is raining or we are experiencing inclement weather, Storytime will not take place. Mask-wearing and social-distancing is encouraged! Please help us make this an experience everyone feels safe participating in!

July 1st is when items checked out before quarantine and during curbside were due! We have also placed a cart inside the front doors that you can place your books into during our open hours in case you do not see our signs directing you to the back! Again, there are no late fines or fees on any of these items. We ask that you do not bring your items any further into the library as these items need to be quarantined for the safety of our patrons and our staff! After the conclusion of the second part of the study conducted on library specific materials, it has been determined that FOUR days of quarantine is recommended for all returned items. This means your returned items will remain on your card for four days before we check them back into the library. You are also welcome to set items you check out aside for this length of time prior to handling them at home. Thank you! 

Just a reminder that there are no fines on items that were checked out prior to quarantine in March. These items were not able to be returned to us due to our having to close our bookdrops and not through any fault of your own! Please turn in your items as soon as possible. Late fees due to quarantine are also not being assessed at this time! If you have any questions about the items you have in your possession, please call!

LIttle Free Libraries are all over Duncan! Take a book and leave a book. When you finish a book, leave it in one of these little libraries for someone else to enjoy! If you know of one we don't have listed, let us know!

Please remember that the books in these little libraries are protected only when they are inside and the doors are shut. Sadly, we've discovered a few ruined books that were left out in the wind and the rain.
