Our eight Tioga County public libraries have begun using a unified county-wide library card. Tioga County borrowers may now use their card to access materials from any county library, chose the library at which they would like to pick up a specific hold request, renew items and view current items borrowed, and return items & pay fines at any Tioga County library. The program, called “Tioga Together”, is managed through the FLLS. Search our catalog at www.flls.org.
A new selection of books in large print has just been added to the collection thanks to a grant from the Tioga County Senior Citizens Foundation. Mysteries, westerns, & romance by many of today’s popular writers.
Watch for news about the summer program—Dream BIG! @ the Library!
The library is open Tues: 12 – 5; Wed: 1:30-700; Thur: 1-5; Fri: 1:30-7; Sat: 9-2. Handicapped access from the Jewett Hill Rd parking area.
