C. E. Weldon Public Library
The mission statement of the library is "Enriching lives by providing quality materials and services which fulfill educational, informational, cultural and recreational needs in a friendly, respectful and businesslike atmosphere." In keeping with our mission here is a list of materials and services that we provide.
Books
Books are a core part of any library and here at C. E. Weldon Public Library we carry over 38,000 books, periodicals, and other written materials. We like to think that we are at the crossroads of education and entertainment with over 20,000 fiction and 15,500 non-fiction books. Some of our patrons love to read but have difficulty with the small text of most books. For them we carry over 1,000 large print books. In the genealogy area we have an additional 1,000 books, microfilms, and obituary binders. We also have almost 300 spanish holdings. All of this can be searched for in our online catalog here.
If your love of literature cannot be satiated by our stacks then we always have R.E.A.D.S. As a member of R.E.A.D.S. our patrons are allowed to borrow up to 15 ebooks or audiobooks at a time using their library card. Those books can then be read or listened to either on their computer or on their smartphone/tablet.
What is that? You cannot find what you are looking for here or on R.E.A.D.S.? You may still be in luck. We have access to almost every book in the state library system through our inter-library loan program. Just ask someone at our front desk to see if they can find a copy of the book you want somewhere else in the state through the ILL system.
Children's Library
Our children's library is one of the coolest children's libraries in the state. With over 14,000 books, a jungle room, cultural center, games, Early Literacy Stations and a slew of children's programs. It is the place to be for your growing child. Our books are organized by reading level and include Accelerated Reader dots on the spine for a quick and easy way to find out what grade level each book is appropriate for.
Our Early Literacy Stations are touch screen computers with games and activities designed to teach kids how to read and write while keeping their attention by making it fun. While we do have two computers in the children's library that are connected to the internet, the ELS are self contained activity centers and safe for kids of all ages.
