Services
"This will never be a civilized country until we expend more for books than we do for chewing gum." ~ Elbert Hubbard
The Roann Paw Paw Township Public Library offers a variety of services for it's nearly 1600 patrons. Coining the term, "Techno-Heritage" some years ago, it has been the goal of this Carnegie Library to move forward in the latest technology while still honoring the past. The quaint and relaxing atmosphere of this library will invite you to linger; settling in to read a good book by the fireplace. Or you may be inclined to visit some of the other areas created for your enjoyment. There is a Teen Corner with gaming chairs, the Children's Department with its own TV and VCR for movie-watching, the Computer Lab with 4 terminals online, The Indiana Room for Genealogical Research, or the basement Meeting Room which is used for meetings or classes, and can be rented for private gatherings. On the horizon, we hope to offer a Cyber Cafe, where Patrons may sip the coffee of the day while taking advantage of our WiFi service. There is also a possibility of a Virtual Darkroom; using a Mac computer, patrons will be able to scan, manipulate, edit photos, and create slideshows for personal use. We invite you to come to Roann and visit us. You'll only be a stranger once.
