The Courier-Journal mistakenly listed today’s “Intro to Facebook” class as starting at 6 p.m. The actual start time is 10:00 a.m. and the class goes until 12 noon. We apologize for any confusion.
Check out our online events calendar and our Computer Classes page to find other computer classes offered throughout the month.

Did you know that the month of September is Library Card Sign-Up Month?
That means that if you don’t have a library card yet and sign up for one in September, you’ll be entered into our weekly prize drawings for a tote bag full of library goodies!
What if you already had a library card and lost it? You can get a FREE replacement card in September!
To get your library card, you can visit the Circulation Desk at both the Clarksville and Jeffersonville locations. Be sure to check out this page to see what you need to bring with you to get a card.
Thanks for supporting the library!
You may have heard that there are changes coming to the library’s InterLibrary Loan program. We are now part of a new statewide initiative called SRCS: Statewide Remote Circulation Service.
What is SRCS?
SRCS, Indiana’s Statewide Remote Circulation Service, links together the catalogs of multiple Indiana libraries into a single interface which allows authorized users to search the library collections of over 150 Hoosier libraries and then to place requests for materials owned any of those participating libraries. The requested materials will be delivered to the user’s home library for their use.
How do you pronounce SRCS?
SRCS is pronounced like “Circs”
What does SRCS do?
The purpose of SRCS is to offer a virtual Indiana union catalog for participating libraries through which patrons can request materials from other participating library systems and have them delivered to their local library using the InfoExpress library courier.
How long do materials circulate on SRCS?
The recommendation of the Resource Sharing Committee is for the minimum loan period for all materials in SRCS to be 21 days.
How are renewals handled?
Patrons can log into SRCS and view the status or request renewals for their active requests. It is up to the owning library to either grant or deny this renewal request.
How big is this virtual union catalog?
Phase I of SRCS includes 52 academic libraries, 113 public libraries and 2 special libraries, including the Indiana State Library. That combined catalog contains over 30 million items. That is larger than the collections of Library of Congress or Harvard University Library. Continue Reading →
We had over 320 people read over 1,500 books in the Adult Summer Reading Club this year and gave away 17 prizes, but in the end there could only be two Grand Prize winners:
Margaret Fox, winner of the $300 Visa gift card grand prize in the 2016 Summer Reading Club
Kim Shoemaker, winner of the $200 Visa gift card grand prize in the 2016 Summer Reading Club
Congratulations to Margaret Fox and Kim Shoemaker! And thank you everyone who participated this year!
