Holiday Closings

The Troy-Miami County Public Libraries will be closed Saturday, December 31, 2016, through Monday, January 2, 2017 for New Years. For your convenience, the outside book drops will be open. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Time Warner Cable has scheduled maintenance on our internet circuit from 12-6 a.m. on Wednesday, December 14, 2016. During this time your connectivity to the library website and catalog may experience an interruption of service. Thank you for your patience during the maintenance.

Some website maintenance is planned for tonight. This will take place after 10 p.m., and may cause some intermittent connectivity. We anticipate that the work will take around an hour. Thanks for your patience!

Sentiments are running high for the presidential election. Whether the library is your polling location or not, please respect the law and do not loiter, congregate, or campaign within 100 feet of the library Tuesday (Nov. 8). Also, please do not attempt to influence any voter. Thank you! (Ohio Revised Code citation below).
