The Library of Things is a collection of non-traditional library items that expands HCPL’s collection beyond books and provides diverse opportunities for learning and engagement.
InterLibrary Loan:HCPL is able to borrow books from libraries throughout West Virginia. If a patron would like to read a book that we do not have, they can fill out an ILL request slip and our ILL librarian will submit the request to a library who owns the item. Different libraries have different timeframes for processing ILL requests, so there is no way to guarantee when an ILL will arrive.
Food Pantry:
Did you know there is a community food pantry between the library and the Davis House? Thanks to County United Way, Inc. we will be able to continue this great service through 2022!
