Every summer for more than twenty years, the Mount Gilead Public Library has offered a summer reading program to keep kids and their family’s active and reading all summer long. While this year certainly had its challenges, the library is happy to call its 2020 Summer Reading Program a success.

Per Gov. Mike DeWine's announcement, the Mount Gilead Public Library will require all able individuals to wear a mask. Children under 10 may be in the library without a mask, though wearing one is highly recommended. We will continue to limit the number of people in the library at one time as well as continuing with our already in place social distancing measures. Curbside pick-up remains an option for all current card holders.

The Mount Gilead Public Library is looking for a friendly, energetic and customer focused individual to join our team in serving as part-time Library Aide for an average of 21 hours/week.

The board of the Mount Gilead Public Library is pleased to announce that Melissa Kipp has been named as its new Library Director.

Sign-Up today to have Storytime To-Go kits made for your reader. Each kit contains three to six books, activity page and at-home craft.

The Mount Gilead Public Library is now open to the public. Users must enter the library through using the doors on the first (parking lot) level.

We invite the community to tap into their imagination and dream of new beginnings, middles, and endings with this year’s 2020 Summer Reading Program  “Imagine Your Story,” designed to inspire patrons of ALL ages to dream big and envision their own story. 

Want some books or movies but not quite ready to enter public buildings? The Mount Gilead Public Library has you covered. We are still offering our "Parking Lot Pickup" option even though our library is back open regular hours.

Don't have a library card? Sign up for a free eCard with the Mount Gilead Public Library without the need to visit us in person.

Effective Tuesday, March 17, 2020 at 7:00 PM all programs and services at the Mount Gilead Public Library, Library Annex and Genealogy Room are cancelled and the library will be closed.
