The Eufaula Memorial Library is still temporarily closed for renovations, but we have programs and library services at the Eufaula Community Center.

Hopefully we will be open again next month.

While we are at the Community Center you can check books in and out and use Chromebooks. You can also order items from other libraries.

Follow us on Facebook for any updates.

We have a great and easy way for you to donate to Eufaula Memorial Library. We have a platform called The Mighty Cause. It is a website for non-profits such as the library for supporters to make contributions to our campaign. Currently, we are seeking funds to finish out the renovations and to purchase a new outdoor book drop. Visit www.mightycause.com/ organization/Eastern-Oklahoma-Library-System-Eufaula to learn more or make a donation.
