A customer favorite on the Libby app is magazines!

Libby isn't only about ebooks, audiobooks, and videos... they also have your favorite magazines. You can view them on any screen but according to our discerning public, the magazines look best on tablets or PCs and not quite as good on phone screens. Best part? It's free.

To access the Libby app on Kentucky Libraries Unbound, all you need is your library card. Lost your library card? No problem- give us a call or stop by and we'll help you replace it.
Don't Forget the Friends of the Library

Face masks are not required but we do highly encourage that you wear one while at the library. We appreciate your cooperation!
Marion Memories
One of the ongoing projects of MCPL is our Marion Memories database, hosted by KYVL (Kentucky Virtual Library), and available for use by the public. There are quite a few unidentified images in the collection and, from time to time, we will share an image with you to see if you can help us figure out who it is, which furthers the usefulness of that old photograph for research and history. Today's image is one which was donated for Loretto's Crossroads Exhibit earlier this year. Many of the images donated for the Crossroads project are now available in our database. If you have images that you would like to donate or if you are able to identify this person, let us know! You can contact our staff genealogist Sam at sam.morris@marioncopublic.org
