Worthington Libraries

All Worthington Libraries locations will be closed Friday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth.

To allow library staff members to enjoy time off with their families, bookdrops will be closed when the Library is closed for holidays. Please do not leave any library materials outside the bookdrop when it is closed or full.

The Library will open again for normal hours on Saturday, June 20 from 9am-6pm.

We won't let you miss out on all the fun just because you're an adult! You can grab an activity sheet and read to win a coupon for a book from the Friends Foundation book sale, a "Reading is DINO-MITE!" tote bag and a chance to win a $100 visa gift card!

One of our Storytime Associates wanted to share a particularly cute patron who has been coming to storytime each Wednesday. Sometimes it's hard to win over new attendees, but this little guy has been all ears! 😄🐇

More AMAZING ink from our fundraiser with Shelby Tattoos!

This fundraiser was a huge success. All appointment slots were filled within the first 48 hours of posting! Thanks to all who shared and participated, we have additional resources to support the work of our libraries.👏

Some of our favorite creations from a staff wellness exercise. 😄😂We invited team members to create the dinosaur of their dreams using air-dry clay and their imagination!

Which one is your favorite?

Opening today at Old Worthington Library: "Declaration 1776: the Big Bang of American Democracy." This special exhibit created by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History is on view now through July 3 and is part of the Worthington celebration of America250.

When the Declaration of Independence was issued, the idea that “all men are created equal” was revolutionary. With this seminal document, the Founding Fathers unleashed an open-ended driving force that would shape modern history. Around the world, other countries have declared independence taking the US Declaration of 1776 as a model. This exhibition uses primary sources to illustrate how Americans and people across the world have been inspired by the Declaration in their pursuit of equality and self-determination.

Library resources are also included to add additional background, context and voices to the material on display.
