Since we are celebrating 100 years of the old Santa Fe Depot building, which houses our library, and 10 years that we have been in this depot, our theme for this summer’s reading program will center on trains. The reading program will run from June 13 through July 13. It is geared towards children kindergarten through 8th grade age. We will also include preschool children ages 3 to 5 who will have a parent or older child read to them. For each reading goal reached, the participants will receive prizes. So keep on track this summer with reading!

For all you Facebook users, you can now follow the news from the library! We will be posting upcoming events and new books and movies that have arrived. Just look for Marion City Library.

Do you know anyone who would benefit from the Talking Books program?

Talking Books is a program run by the state. Any Kansas citizen that is certified as print impaired due to a visual or physical condition may apply for Talking Books Services. Such conditions may include permanent or temporary blindness, vision loss, physical condition or reading disability. Contact staff to learn more about the service.

If you would like to receive emails from the library containing information about upcoming library events, new books, movies, etc., please supply the staff with your email address. Your email address will not be shared with anyone else.
