ServicesThe Rushville Public Library provides numerous services to Rush County residents. Services such as color copy machine, FAX, laminating, meeting room, scanning, and computer use are provided to the public at various costs. Patrons with library cards may check out various pieces of equipment such as slide projectors and film projectors.
To help patrons as much as possible, the Library also provides three special services: interlibrary loans, memorials and homebound. For the fee of shipping books, patrons may request materials which the Library does not have through interlibrary loan. The Rushville Public Library happily accepts monetary gifts for memorials. Memorials may be given to the Library to honor a friend or relative who has passed away, or may be given in appreciation of a birth, birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion. For patrons who are shut-ins, the Library provides a homebound delivery service. Staff members will deliver and pick up library materials for patrons who cannot come to the Library due to health or weather.
ProgramsThe Rushville Public Library provides programs for all ages during the year. There are storytimes for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers during the school year. In the summer, the Library's Summer Reading Program lasts for six to eight weeks. During this time, programs are held for preschoolers, school-aged children, teens, and adults. Everyone is encouraged to join our Summer Reading Fun!
Other library programing is held irregularly during the year. In the past, the Library's programs have consisted of author visits, craft and cooking demonstrations and nighttime story hours.
Staff members are always available to visit any group, organization, or school to talk about the Rushville Public Library and the many things we have to offer!
