Story Time Returns
Story time is BACK for our 3-5 year-olds on Tuesdays from 11:30am to 12:15pm, beginning September 8. It will be a little different this year as it will be online. Stop by the library each week to get your craft packets and tune in to read with Mrs. Gerbick and virtual crafting.
Normal Operating Hours
We have returned to normal operating hours, but you will notice some changes and we ask for your cooperation.
- Our staff will be wearing masks and will frequently sanitize surfaces for the safety of patrons and staff.
- The State of Indiana has a facemask requirement effective Monday, July 27, for all individuals ages 8 and up. Patrons are expected to comply. If for some reason you wish not to wear a mask or it creates medical difficulties, you can still receive curbside service but you cannot enter the building (see below).
- Sanitize or wash your hands frequently. Touchless faucets have been installed in the public restrooms to minimize chances of contact with others. A hand sanitizer station is available for public use and we encourage you to take advantage of it.
- Use of public computers will be allowed, but keep in mind these are PUBLIC computers and available to all patrons. The computers will have keyboard and mouse covers to allow for easier cleaning. It is recommended you bring your own headphones.
- The public meeting room is closed for rental until further notice.
- If you have a fever or suspect you have been exposed to Covid-19, please do not come into the building.
- Late fees on materials will resume as normal.
While this list may read as unwelcoming, these are unprecedented times and we want to make “normal life” as safe as possible for all. We are happy to welcome you back, but you may not see our shining smiles behind our masks!

Evergreen App!
Guess what? Now we can officially say “There’s an app for that!”
Evergreen Indiana now has an official app for your Android and iOS devices. Once the app is downloaded to your device and you have logged in, you can use this new app to place hold requests, see what items you have checked out, search the on-line catalog, check on fines, and receive library information (hours, phone number, address). The app will also store a digital library card replica so you will always have your library card number with you as long as you have your device.

If you have difficulties logging in, or if your password needs reset, please call us (765) 386-2355 and we will be happy to assist you.
Story Time On Hold
Note: Story Time is suspended until schools are back in session. Updates will be posted here.
Story time is back for our 3-5 year-olds on Tuesdays from 11:30am to 12:15pm. We have a new coordinator with exciting ideas just waiting to engage your kids in stories and crafts. It’s an easy walk across the street for those Coatesville Christian pre-schoolers. Come on in and join the fun and tell your friends. Rumor is more kids are joining every week! Libraries open up a whole new world you can’t replicate on-line.
