Library reopens with new look

After being closed for two weeks, the Sikeston Public Library opened on Monday, August 26 with a new look.

The original carpeting, which had been in place since the library expansion opened in the mid-1990s, has been replaced with a mixture of carpeting and vinyl tile in high-traffic areas, and we have moved from blue-gray carpeting to tones of brown and gray.

While we were closed and moving shelves, some sections of the library have been rearranged for better traffic flow and to reflect how patrons use the library.

Future improvements include new public access computers and renovations to the lobby of the library.

 

Introducing LIBBY — a new way to manage your electronic items

For our e-book readers…there’s a new and improved way to browse, check out, and read e-books through MoLib2Go. Libby is a more user-friendly app that has just been made available to the general public. We at the library have been testing the app in its beta stages for weeks; we really enjoy using it, and hope that you will too!

Libby is available in the app stores for Apple, Google and Microsoft. Try it for yourself, and let us know if we can help you with setup or any questions you might have.
