Protection Township Library moved into the present location in 2004. The Library covers 1,462 sq ft; the Art Gallery encompases 672 sq ft; and the Community Room has 1,088 sq ft of floor space including the kitchen area.

We have approximately 7,692 books currently on the library shelves with more added regularly.

Since January:
756 Books have been checked out. (Avg 252/month)
(this includes the books requested from the Traveling Library)

530 of these books were from our library’s shelves. (Avg 177/month)

We have 7 computers set up on the internet for public use.
An average of 110 persons have been using the computers each month.

We receive a number of publications each month. A few titles are:

• Consumers Reports
• Kansas
• AARP

I plan to have the library automated before the end of the year. UPDATE Automation is done!  We have invested several dollars into getting this done already, and the older books have been culled from the shelves in preparation for automation. I will tell you more about that later as work progresses. I think you will enjoy and appreciate the convenience.

UP DATE: Automation called “VERSO” has started at the Protection Township Library effected September 18, 2006 and today April 21, 2009 we have 4,070 books on line.  I am moving along on schedule and having fun doing this project.

Every day something new arrives at our library: fiction, cooking, gardening, poetry, biographies, you name it – so come see what’s new at our library.
