Library News

We will be closed on January 16, 2012 to observe Martin Luther King holiday.


We are a Public Library Workforce Center

A federal grant of $29,000 money was awarded to the Harry M. Caudill Memorial Library to upgrade our computer facilities to help our citizens attain computer literacy, resume writing, basic computer skills, online job searches, filling up online employment applications, orientation to unemployment benefits, and basic health care information that they may obtain employment.

With grant money, the library has purchased 10 laptops for training and has contracted trainers to teach computer courses.
