Mobile Library

Recently, thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant, provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a mobile library solution was added to the Heartland Library Cooperative's resources. This mobile library is a van equipped with materials to be checked out (ex: books, DVDs, games, etc), computers and hotspots available for use, and limited printing services. Residents can also be registered for and receive a free (requirements must be met) library card.
