The Putnam County Public Library has recently undergone renovations. An enlarged and modern facility now stands merely two blocks from the Courthouse Square, where the Carnegie Library building once existed alone. This facility, library staff, board, friends and volunteers are now in their second year of providing improved library services and materials. Parking is available at the Poplar Street entrance. The children's area, located on the lower level of the library, offers a variety of materials appealing to all ages.
Books range from toddler readers to chapter fiction and non-fiction.
Also available for circulation are videos, periodicals, audio cassettes and computer software. In addition, there are reference books, educational games and software installed on four public computers. There is also a reading area that will comfortably fit children and adults alike. The Putnam County Public Library has many new materials and services to offer the adult community. The Adult Services is divided into several areas.
