The Baxter County Library is closed and will remain closed until further notice for the safety of Library patrons, staff, and volunteers, due to COVID-19. Library staff ask that patrons hang on to any items they may have checked out. The Library book drop is closed and no items can be returned at this time. All due dates have been extended through May 1, and no fines will be charged.
Though the Library is closed, many services and resources remain available. eBooks, eAudio Books, and eMagazines can be checked out on the Library’s website at www.baxlib.org. Also on the website, students can access a live tutor with Brainfuse or learn a foreign language with Mango languages. Creativebug has lots of how-to videos for craft projects to do while at home, and TumbleBooks has a wide selection of instant eBooks for children of all ages.
Look for Mrs. Amy’s weekly story time video and other posts on the Library’s FaceBook page @baxtercountylibrary.
