The library has moved--now open at its renovated and enlarged permanent home at 4051 Joshua Road. Visit the website at www.jeaneslibrary.org for hours and an up-to-date listing of programs, then stop by and enjoy all that is new. Light-filled spaces, accessible facilities (including an elevator), a still-intimate but bright Children's Library, more parking, and the ever-friendly staff.
The children's programs at the Jeanes Library are top notch, offering music, art, story telling, reading enrichment, and always the active engagement of youngsters and their care givers. Also, check out the new book clubs for adults. Did you know you that from the comfort of your home you can download free e-books, search the catalogue, place items on hold, and enew items you've already borrowed?
You might want to borrow one of the 12 new Nooks, available for free for a 2-week lending period. New to Nook? Ask one of the friendly staff members for a quick Nook intro.
A full calendar of events is available on the Library's website at www.jeaneslibrary.org.
