Please be aware that this is an active construction site. Contractors have fenced off the front doors around the side lot, and back to the corner of the building by the back book drop, so you must enter the library on the lower level facing 31st Street (below the front entrance).
The side parking lot is being used by the contractor, but you may park in the lower parking lot behind the library and also along the back of the building along the parking lot entrance. In addition, North Parkersburg Baptist Church has been gracious enough to allow library patrons to park in the Friendship Kitchen lot across 31st Street from the Library.
The rear book drop IS open for use.
Remember that all of the branches will be open, and our friendly neighbors at Vienna Public Library will be happy to help.
We appreciate your patience during the renovations which will continue through the end of the year. We hope to be done with the renovations in early 2018.

Welcome to our new website. We may have to tweak it a little over the next week, but hopefully things will be better.

Times include:
South Parkersburg Library at 10:15 a.m.
Williamstown Library at 1:00 p.m.
Emerson Library at 6:00 p.m.
“‘Upcycled Cinderella’ is a hilarious production hitting the road Monday. The show features two school employees who jump at the chance to bring to life this celebrated fairy tale when the ‘real’ school assembly doesn’t show-up. The show features vibrant costumes and props all made from everyday objects.” … Bright Star website
