The library is offering patrons the opportunity to borrow a blood pressure monitor. The monitor is available through the Clinton County Health District and the American Heart Association.

Included with the blood pressure monitor are detailed instructions on how to obtain an accurate reading, tips on how to manage your blood pressure, and a list of Clinton County Community Resources.

The kit has a 7-day loan period and can be renewed one time as long as there are no holds. It must be picked up from and returned to the Circulation Desk.

Morning storytimes are separated into age groups, but we also have our popular Family Storytime from 5-6 p.m. each Monday. No registration is required. Children (and adults) of all ages are welcome to just show up and enjoy a story, songs, crafts and a light snack.

For more information, please visit the library or call 937.783.3585.

December Calendar

January title:
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
by Agatha Christie

Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected also that someone had been blackmailing her. Then, tragically, came the news that she had taken her own life with a drug overdose. But the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information. Unfortunately, before he could finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death.

The library's new Home Delivery Service provides library materials to homebound residents who reside in the Blanchester Local School district.

You may be eligible for this free service if you are unable to visit the library due to illness, physical or mental disability, lack of transportation, or are temporarily homebound due to surgery or illness.

To register for the program, please call Shay Snow at the library at 937.783.3585 or print, complete and return this form.

We will deliver items to registered cardholders each month by appointment as well as pick up items ready for return. Deliveries may be suspended or stopped at any time.

There are two tests per kit. Instructions are in the test kit box.

These tests are being provided through a partnership with the Ohio Department of Health. Tests are limited to two per household per day.

The hotspots allow patrons to connect their tablet, phone, laptop and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the Internet.

A hotspot may be checked out by any cardholder 18 years of age or older whose card is in good standing. All borrowers must show a current driver's license, state ID, passport or military photo ID at the time of checkout.

Hotspots circulate for 7 days. Each hotspot circulates in a carrying case within a plastic case along with an AC adapter. The user is responsible for returning all of these items to the circulation desk in good condition.
