I was on a multistate road trip when I got a business call that I must sign and return a document…read morewithin that hour. Poor cell connection during the day's travel meant prior calls had not come through that day and a hard deadline was here. Looking ahead on the travel route I picked Mt. Vernon as a place that might have the facilities I required. No e-sign, but print, ink sign, and scan/email (not fax) a document was the time sensitive task before me. I found that office supply chain store listed. A man answering there said the store did not have the capability to have me print a page from email, ink sign, and scan/email. I called this library. After explaining the scenario my call was placed on hold briefly. Upon her return the librarian told me they could help. The two staff involved in helping me achieve this process were pleasant. The only charge was 20 cents for the print of one sheet of paper! They handed me a thumb drive and a staff took care of the scanning. They stayed calm when I was feeling panicked and that helped! Support public funding for public entities including local libraries! They can help you out of a jam you'd never expect to be in. They're an education source and useful through all life stages. Big thanks to the staff here!

This place was my second home this summer! I was always here trying to study for one of my college…read moreexams. It's a great place to study and get away from distractions at home. It doesn't get too loud. I mean, come on, it's a library! They also have the air conditioning blasting over the summer so it feels great! There are plenty of tables to sit at and read, study, etc with outlets and free wi-fi! The selection of books, magazines, CDs and DVDs are a bit limited but you can always request items from other libraries and you can pick them up at this location which is convenient. The staff members are really friendly and always willing to help you out so I recommend coming here to study, find a good book or to get out of the heat! :)

Another very extremely, awesome find today that totally shocked me, and which I was super…read moreimpressed, the Centralia Library... the main part of the library is over 120 years old, and it was a beautiful building, but the really impressive part, was that they take public libraries seriously!!!! All the rooms are extremely inviting for ALL ages, and they are serious about having kids want to come to the library! They have air hockey, and other games in the teen room, along with cool seating... an absolutely gorgeous, hand painted children's library with games and all sorts of learning experiences...and an infant to preschool library with a lot of learning activities...it amazes me with how amazing and elaborate this library is in this small town, especially when a lot of the town seems run down, and super old school...it's also amazing that they were able to also get a multi million dollar grant from the community for renovations... we were also lucky to have the nice librarian give us a "historical tour" ...I am from California, and I HAVE NEVER SEEN any library like this before, even in the richest of cities, so very impressive

Wow! The Willard Library is Indiana's OLDEST library, and it's everything it lives up to be for an…read moreold, creaky library. It's quiet and filled with ghost stories of the old Grey Lady. There are even ghost cams in the library that can be viewed online 24/7. We only knew about these stories after we visited, but it's a big part of the Willard Library story. It's a gorgeous 19th-century building that is on the national registry of historic places. The woodwork and staircase are detailed, and if you are into history and architecture, you'll enjoy a visit here. The 2nd level is devoted entirely to genealogy. Willard was a well-known abolitionist and his collection of anti-slavery books are featured in a bookcase on the stairwell.
