Mechanicsburg Public Library is closing February 26, 27 and 28, 2018 for employee training about our new expanded resources as part of the Serving Every Ohioan consortium.  We plan to reopen at 10:00 a.m. on March 1, 2018.  Items due on those dates are considered due after we reopen.  You may also renew items with voice messages or online.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  By joining SEO, we increase the number of and access to available resources. Our goal is to improve service to our community.  We will exchange items with this group of libraries scattered throughout Ohio.  Our new catalog will allow you to request items from other member libraries directly and make up to 25 requests.  Joining this group will allow us to increase the total number of items you can borrow to 50 and to extend borrowing times.   We will offer courtesy and overdue e-mail notices to let you know about item due dates.  We can offer access to these expanded resources due to a grant that covers 75% of the costs through federal funds supplied from the LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) program and funded through the independent federal agency IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services).  We look forward to showing you our new expanded resources.
