Our
DVD and Video collection is divided into seven parts.
Six of these rotate among the 6 branch libraries ever two months.
At the end of a year each branch library has seen each part of the
six parts.
Collection seven is a group of videos that have been
"retired" from the rotating collection.
These are videos that don't circulate often enough to justify
keeping them in the rotating collections, but we want to make them
available to our patrons for a while longer.
Collection seven is kept at Metamora Branch Library .
Videos from collection can be requested and will be sent to your
branch library To see a list of the videos in collection seven, click here |

Book Signing @ Roanoke Branch Library |
|
Kathy Meismer Darding was at the Roanoke Branch of Illinois Prairie District Public Library for a book signing on Monday, April 22. Mrs. Darding, who lives in Danville but grew up in Benson, is the author of three books: Callie Hill: Child of the South, Callie Hill: New Beginnings, and Through Mitzy’s Eyes: A Dog’s Tale, which are all available for checkout at the Roanoke Branch. Mrs. Darding credits her late father, Bob Meismer, with sparking her interest in history, especially the Civil War. When she decided to write her first novel, she placed the setting during that time period. The successful book signing resulted in 26 of her books being sold. Mrs. Darding donated $3 from each sale for a total of $78 to go toward the purchase of new books for the Roanoke Branch. |

In order to encourage the public to donate more books to the Roanoke Branch of the Illinois Prairie District Public Library, the Happy Hustlers 4-H Club decided to conduct two fund-raising events. The first event was a bake sale of Christmas goodies held at the library on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 7 and Dec. 8. Bucks 4 Books is the name of the second event sponsored by the 4-H Club. Roanoke residents are asked to donate $20 or more to buy a book for the library. The donor may stipulate whether the book is fiction or nonfiction and meant for an adult, teen, or child. A bookplate will be placed inside the book with the name of the donor or a person they want to honor. The donor would receive a card thanking them for their generous donation and the title of the book they donated. The donor or their honoree would also get their name on an ornament on a tree that will be in the library. Donation boxes for Bucks 4 Books will be placed at various businesses around town, as well as the library |
