Check out a State Park Pass!

Did you know that 2016 is not just the state Bicentennial, it’s also the Centennial of Indiana’s State Parks system? To celebrate both events, the Indiana State Library and Indiana State Parks have provided us with a free park pass to circulate to our patrons!

We’re fortunate to have the Falls of the Ohio State Park and Charlestown State Park right in our backyard, but there are lots of other parks around the state to explore. Don’t forget to share your state park adventures with us on social media and at the library!

Apprendre une nouvelle langue!

Did you notice the library staff looking especially colorful last week?

JTPL staff wearing Mango shirts

JTPL Staff wear their Mango Languages shirts to let patrons know about the new language learning service.

That’s because we wanted to let you know all about our newest library resource, Mango Languages!

Have you always wanted to learn how to speak French? Or maybe you’re researching your family history and want to be able to speak Norwegian. Whatever your inspiration, Mango will help you learn over 70 languages. Ask a librarian to help you out or log on from anywhere to get started on your own. Be sure to check the App Store and Google Play for Mango apps for your mobile devices, too!

New Website Released

We are proud to unveil our redesigned library website. While we hope this new version will make information easier to find, we know it will take some getting used to. That’s why we will be hosting classes on how to use this new site soon, so be sure to keep an eye on our events calendar!
