Big Facts About Our Little Library

Erica Wagner


Welcome to the Tyne Valley Library, a small but mighty community hub packed with resources, opportunities, and surprises! You might think you know everything about our library, but we’re here to share some big facts that might just surprise you.

1. We Have Computers and Printing Services

In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, not everyone has a computer at home. Whether it’s a professional resume, an online application, or formatting a detailed spreadsheet, some tasks are just easier to tackle on a computer. That’s where we come in! Our public computers are free to use, and we also offer printing services for just 10¢ per page. Need a little help navigating technology? We’ve got you covered with basic tech assistance for those tricky tasks.

2. You Save Money Every Time You Borrow

Did you know your library receipt shows how much money you save? Borrowing books, games, and other resources from the library adds up. For example, borrowing 6 books and a board game could save you around $86 compared to purchasing them. Imagine the collective savings for our community if everyone borrowed instead of buying just a few times each month. Libraries aren’t just about books; they’re about shared resources and sustainability.

3. More Than Just Books: The Library of Things

We’re more than a place to check out books! Our library also offers a variety of items you can borrow, such as:

  • Board games and puzzles to enjoy with family and friends

  • Snowshoes for winter adventures

  • Cake pans for your next baking project

  • Light therapy lamps to brighten your winter days

  • And much more!

Not everything is available on-site, but you can place a hold and have it delivered right here for pickup. Convenience at its finest!

4. A Cozy Space for Everyone

Our library is more than just a resource center; it’s a place to relax, connect, and enjoy. Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to read, a cozy corner to study, or a welcoming space to meet with friends, we’re here for you. And yes, we’re always looking for ways to make our library even more inviting for everyone.

5. A Hub for Community Programs

This year alone, we hosted 198 programs with 784 attendees—and we’re just getting started. From storytime for kids to workshops for adults, there’s something for everyone. Keep an eye on our events calendar for exciting upcoming programs.

6. Every Visit Makes a Difference

With 249 active library cardholders, our little library is at the heart of the Tyne Valley community. By borrowing, attending programs, or simply stopping by, you’re helping to keep our library thriving. Let’s keep growing together!

7. Accessible Tech Help for All

Struggling with technology? Whether it’s setting up an email account, filling out online forms, or troubleshooting, our friendly staff is here to help. We want to make sure everyone has the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in today’s digital world.

8. A Savings Tracker on Every Receipt

Every time you borrow from our library, your receipt tells you how much you’ve saved by borrowing instead of buying. It’s a little reminder of how much your library gives back to you. Next time, take a moment to check your total—you might be pleasantly surprised!
