Sheri Holmes

Ellinwood School/Community Library has many services to offer our patrons. Along with our wonderful collection of books, audio books (on CD), and DVDs available for checkout, we provide digital services including Hoopla, Libby, and State Library of Kansas. Call the library at 620-564-2306 and Julie can help you get set up. If there is an item you are needing that our library does not provide, we are in a network of libraries to borrow through Inter-Library Loan. Contact Treva at the library to ILL a book.

We also provide copies (including color & poster printing), fax, and laminating services for a small fee. Julie will assist you with small 3-D printing projects. We have library bags for sale to carry your treasures. Adult patrons also have access to public computers, free Wi-Fi, and microfilm of the Ellinwood Leader. 

There are many programs/displays offered at Ellinwood School/Community Library. Children’s StoryTime with Miss Karie and Baby & Me with Miss Treva are offered weekly during the fall and spring semesters, and then we load the summer with our Summer Reading Program with Miss Melody and crew. 

We will be having the Twilight Stitchers Quilt Display up in March, the EHS Art Display in April, and EGS Art Display in May. We try to get this information out to you in advance through the newspaper and you may also want to follow us and interact on Facebook at facebook.com/ellinwoodlibrary.  

Our winter Library hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and evenings 4-7 p.m. with Heather, Treva, or Amy; Fridays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays with Amy or Melody from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

We look forward to serving you soon at Ellinwood School/Community Library.
