A New Chapter For Book Lovers

The Doniphan-Ripley County Library is offering a new opportunity for book enthusiasts to expand their personal libraries.

The library, located at 207 Locus Street, has updated its free book section, now featuring a designated blue container filled with books that patrons can take home and keep.

This initiative is part of the library’s ongoing effort to promote literacy and make reading accessible to everyone in the community.

Library visitors will find a rotating selection of titles in the free book section, as the library frequently updates the collection.

This ensures that there is always something new and exciting for readers to discover.

The library encourages patrons to check the blue container regularly during their visits to explore the latest additions.

For those interested in more library events and programs, the Doniphan-Ripley County Library offers a variety of activities throughout the year.

For example, a popular February event, Blind Date with a Book allowed readers to choose a wrapped book by genre with only the first line visible.

The library staff is also interested in hearing from visitors. If you love the library and come in to get books, they want to hear from you.

At the front desk, grab a heart and write down what you love about the library and reading.

The Doniphan-Ripley County Library is now on Goodreads. Staff is listing current reads and recommendations on that website: www.goodreads.com.

February Storytime on Feb. 5 was with the reading of The Lonely Mailman by Susanna Isern and Shy Willow by Cat Min. Children also made valentine-themed mailboxes.
