RPL Sets Thanksgiving Hours

Rodman Public Library and the Branch will close early at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27 and remain closed through Thursday, November 28 in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday.

 

Both the Main and Branch Libraries will be open on Friday, November 29 during normal business hours, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

 

Of course, even though RPL is closed, your library card is always at work.

 

Although our building isn’t open, patrons can still find reading material and information with their library card online.

 

Our digital collection includes several databases (www.rodmanlibrary.com/databases) in many categories.

 

We have online learning platforms (www.rodmanlibrary.com/digital), such as LinkedIn Learning, Universal Class, Transparent Language and creativebug.

 

Our robust genealogy and local history resources (www.rodmanlibrary.com/genealogy) include, but are not limited to, Alliance and Marlington yearbooks, HeritageHub, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps and the popular Alliance Memory Project and Oral Histories of Alliance. You can even read local and national newspapers online through Newsbank, located with our local history resources.

 

And of course, patrons can enjoy ebooks and audio books through hoopla (www.hoopladigital.com) and Axis 360 (https://rodmanpl.axis360.baker-taylor.com) as well as the Ohio Digital Library (https://ohdbks.overdrive.com) , which also provides access to more than 2,800 comics (ohdbks.overdrive.com/library/comics) and 3,000 magazines (ohdbks.overdrive.com/library/magazines) through the Ohio Digital Library.
