In addition, the library has participated in several Christmas parades, once again publicizing the importance of children reading by enlisting volunteers to build a book-theme float and asking young library users to ride on the float. A wide variety of programs have also been planned and conducted specifically for adult patrons. Some of the topics in that series have included North Carolina writers, mysteries and romance. The library has also hosted special art exhibits such as local student artists, adult artists, and even a circulating Japanese art exhibit. During the past several years the library has added new services for the patrons.
Audio book cassettes, video cassettes, a fax machine and a public computer are now available.
Additionally a small collection of educational and interactive computer software has been started. Children use the interactive programs to practice their reading or receive other educational training while also getting hands on computer experience. Library patrons familiar with WordPerfect software may use the computer for word processing. A fax machine is available to the public for a nominal charge.
