The Eufaula Memorial Library is temporarily closed for renovations, 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. 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 nonprofits, such as the library, where supporters can contribute to our campaign. We are seeking funds to finish the renovations and purchase a new outdoor book drop. Visit www.mightycause. com/organization/Eastern- Oklahoma-Library-System-Eufaula to learn more or make a donation.

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month! During September, Jim Lucas Library in Checotah and Eufaula Memorial Library will compete to win the Golden Book. Each new card application received will be worth one point. Both libraries can earn additional points by donating canned, nonperishable food items. The Library with the most points will house the Golden Book for the year. You can donate canned food items if you already have a library card. We will take donations until September 30. All donations will go to local food missions.

Bring the kiddos after school on Friday, October 4 at 4 p.m., and make play dough. This program is for primary ages 6-11. There is no need to register and it is a free program. While you are there, pick up a calendar of events.

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.
