The library has hired a new employee for the summer!
"Hello, I'm Hannah. I'm 18 years old, and just recently moved to Wisconsin from Chicago. I'm really enjoying hiking and biking outdoors here and spending time with my family. I also love playing guitar, cats and Star Wars! I'm looking forward to working at the library throughout the summer!"
Stop in and say "hello" to Hannah!
The Lester Public Library of Rome is excited to announce that we will be going Fine Free starting June 1st, 2019. This means there will no longer be fines on items checked out from our library. However, charges for damaged or lost items still apply. The library will also be waiving all previous overdue fines, giving each patron a "clean slate." If you have questions please contact the library or talk to one of the library staff.
Would you like to volunteer at the library? Are you talented in arts or crafts? Perhaps handy with tools? Then come to the library the 1st Tuesday of every month to discuss ways to help our library grow and benefit the community. Not a member yet?
