The Winston County Library is promoting “Beyond Books” month during January. “We have over 65,800 books in our collection”, says Librarian Beth Edwards. “But, these days, a library is so much more than a book collection. We offer many other services to our patrons that have become very popular!”
Our additional services include free apps such as Hoopla and cloudLibrary, which offer e-books, audiobooks, TV shows, movies, comics, and music; wireless printing and free scanning/e-mailing. There are also over 2,000 free DVDs available for checkout and audio CDs.
For children, there are digital learning devices such as educational tablets called Launchpads and Wonderbooks, which are print books with pre-loaded audio content bound into the cover so children can hear their favorite stories while reading along!
Other services have been around for a long time and are always popular – newspapers, magazines, fax, laminating, and copy services.
A new service is now being offered to the public for free – Notary Services. “We are very excited to have this available to the public,” commented Librarian Beth Edwards. “We continue to strive to find new ways to serve our community.”
The Winston County Library is a part of the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System, headquartered in Kosciusko, MS.
