Serv​ices

In addition to typical library services (borrowing books, movies, and other items), the Churubusco Library also offers a variety of other services.
Available for public use are:

  • Four computers
  • a color copier (Copies are 10¢ per page black & white, or 50¢ per page color),
  • a fax machine (Faxes are $1 per page to send, 50¢ per page to receive), and
  • a scanner (Scans are $1/page for the first 10 pages, and 25¢ per page thereafter)

Patrons can borrow books from other libraries through Inter-Library Loan or by purchasing a PLAC card.
From January-April, the library provides tax forms for the public. When possible, the library also invites authors to visit and give book signings.

Lending Services

The library has a variety of materials that patrons can borrow. Our policy for lending, and information for new patrons can be found here: Lending Policy.
If we do not have an item you want in circulation, you may have us request it from another library through Inter-Library Loan (ILL), which allows us to borrow books from other libraries within Indiana at no cost. Items available from libraries outside of Indiana may be borrowed if the patron is willing to pay postage.

Dial-A-Story

Dial-A-Story is an outreach service that allows children of all ages to dial a special number (693-1585) and listen to a short story over the phone. This service is available 24 hours, 7 days a week, and the story is changed regularly. Dial-A-Story was made possible through memorials, and is offered free of charge. This service began in February 2010.

Outreach

The library offers a home-bound service for patrons who cannot get to the library. Interested patrons should contact the library for more information. 
The Churubusco Public Library provides baskets of books to area businesses via 'Wait & Read'. These books are available for customers to read as they wait. New books are provided each month. 

Adult Activities

The library has a number of activities for adults, including the Adult Discussion Group, Summer Concerts, an annual Book Sale, Summer Reading challenges, and much more!

Youth Activities

Each month, the Young Adult Book Club, the LEGO Club, a Kids/Tweens Book Club, and the Pokemon Club meet at the library.  Every summer, the library holds a Summer Reading Program.  Many more activities take place throughout the year.

​Community Support

Through the B.A.B.E. coupon program, parents of children up to age 5 can receive a coupon for use at the B.A.B.E. Beds and Britches. Parents can ask for one coupon per child per week after checking out a minimum of five books.
