Join a Program...

Community Library’s mission is to provide welcoming environments for all to pursue knowledge and cultivate interests. In addition to our collection of books, databases, and multimedia materials, we offer a variety of additional services that enhance the lives of Big Walnut area residents.

Lockers
Library Outdoor Lockers

Community Library offers an after-hours pickup service through outdoor accessible lockers. To utilize this service, simply call the library and ask that your materials be placed in a 24×7 locker. You can then retrieve it from the lockers at your convenience, even after the library is closed. Items are kept in the locker for 24 hours before being put back into circulation.

Drive Through
Library Drive Through Returns and Window

Community Library offers drive-through service for patrons to pick up their holds without leaving their car. The drive-through as well as outside drop boxes for material returns are located on the west side of the building.

Group Study Rooms
Table with Chairs

Community Library offers group study rooms for the purpose of meeting, collaborating, studying, and reading, just to name a few. Rooms are available when the library is open on a first come, first serve basis. However, rooms can be reserved for two hours, but no more than once a week. Following the initial two hours, rooms are used in one hour increments. Book a room online through the link or call 740-965-3901 to reserve a room.
