By AMANDA GRANTHAM BRANCH MANAGER,

The Eufaula Memorial Library is temporarily closed for repairs and mold removal, but we have programs and library services at the Eufaula Community Center. While we are at the Community Center you can check books in and out and use Chromebooks.

The meeting room at the library is now open for programs. Follow us on Facebook for any updates.

We thank the City of Eufaula for repairing our building and allowing us to use the Eufaula Community Center for programs and library services.

Monday, Aug. 12 at 5:30 p.m. we will have a Back to School BINGO Bash. Come to the Follansbee Room at the library and play BINGO. Prizes will be school supply items. Thank you to Wal-Mart in McAlester for donating these items for this event. This event is for all ages.

You can check out eBooks, audiobooks, movies, and music through the Libby or Hoopla app. If you are not using them, now would be a great time to try them out! Come to the Community Center and have one of our friendly staff members assist you.
