Welcome to the Howard County Library Website
Need Help with your Resolutions?
Have
you made any New Year’s Resolutions or simply defined some goals to accomplish
this year? If that is the case, the library most likely has books that can help
you on your journey. We have books on self-help, healthy eating, exercising,
finance planning and living a healthier life. We are here to help you find just
the right information!
It's time to get your Mitts on a good book!
Cold
hands? Warm stories! This season, get your mitts on a good book at the library.
From page-turning mysteries to heartwarming tales, there’s something for every
reader to enjoy. Grab your mittens, stop in, and let a great book chase the
chill away. We have all the new bestsellers and great books waiting for
you to come in and check them out!
Make Your Valentines
We
are already planning for the coming months and that will begin with Valentine’s
Day. On Friday, February 13th, from 10 to 5 and Saturday, February 14th from 9
to 12 noon, we will have craft supplies available for making Valentines. So be
sure to stop by and make a Valentine for someone special!
Love To read? Like to talk about books?
Join Readers, our easygoing adult book
club that meets the first Thursday of each month from 5:00–6:00 p.m. It’s a
casual, come-as-you-are group for anyone who enjoys good books, good
conversation, and sharing thoughts along the way. No pressure—just great reads
and friendly discussion.
check out our programs for children/youth
We
are continuing “Toddler Time” every Thursday at 10 am and Homeschoolers Board
Game Day on the 3rd Thursday of every month from 2 to 4 pm. “Junior Readers”
will not be meeting during the remainder of the school year, but will take place
this summer in conjunction with Summer Storytime.
Use our computers, our fax machine
Computers,printers
and a fax machine are other services that we offer along with newspapers and
magazines and a relaxing place to sit and read.
Do you have a Genealogy question? Talk to our Resident Genealogist!

genealogy expert, Kathy Brady, is here every Friday at 1:00 in the genealogy
room to answer your questions or guide you in your ancestry search.
Renew your shelf at the library Booksale!
Don't
forget about our downstairs book room where the books, which have been
donated, are four for a dollar. You might find a "treasure!"
Do you want to support the library? Join Friends of the Library
Some of you have indicated that you would like to do more to support
our library. A great way to do that is to join “Friends of the Library!”
This is an organization open to anyone who is interested in the ongoing
success of the library. An individual membership to join friends is $10
annually, while a family membership is $20. We also offer lifetime
memberships for $200. The purpose of Friends is to provide annual funding
for the library collection, underwrite programs, such as The Summer Reading
Program, Special Holiday events and visiting author programs and to support
the purchase of various items that cannot be fulfilled from the library’s
operational budget. We would love to have new members!
