Older kids may find themselves comfortable reading a story or hanging out after school in the Teen Space. After finishing homework they may participate in a movie night or be a part of the teen advisory board. There’s also a collection of graphic novels and comic books available for the teens who appreciate those reading experiences. As East explains, young readers are learning “that reading can transport you to other times, other cultures, other places.”
An active community of adults regularly relax and study throughout the atrium, the technology lab and the different quiet areas. Individuals learning to read or write are welcome to use a set of workbooks and videos available. The library also offers resources for adults studying in higher education, or topics such as parenting skills, or for a GED test. Programs are available, too, for those learning English as a second language.
The library programs extend beyond the N. Main Street facility through the Bookmobile. The Bookmobile is a library vehicle that makes regular appearances in towns without a library branch, and for those residents who have limited or no transportation.
The Wood County Public Library provides the community with resources to help individuals move forward to meet their goals in life. As Public Relations Coordinator Mary Boone says, the library is “people, it's books, it's a place for the community to gather.”
