Week 4 of Teentober focuses on Art! Watch for teen art submissions to be posted. We will also try to post some of the tech vids that failed to post last week due to some technical difficulties!

It's week 3 of Teentober! We have some how-to videos we will share this week to keep you informed about how to use our virtual resources. We may even show you how to make one of our bookvids! Be sure to keep up with our social media! DPLteens, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, & Pinterest--these last two are new and have very little content at the moment, but we are working on it! You can get to all of these through our Linktree!

Week 2: These are some resources we found that may help you get into writing! If you have Tumblr, be sure to follow us there where we link to and share a lot of helpful writer resources! Check out TeenInk, NaNoWriMo, and Underlined and start writing!

Did you get a new cellphone or E-reader? Did you go from a laptop to an iPad? Do you just want to know more about a device you have had for a while? Would you like to sit with someone who can walk you through how to use your technology? You can now use the form on our website to request a one-on-one tech help session with Rich!

Begining on October 15th, Storytime will take place INDOORS due to the cold weather expected. Children 3 and older are required to wear masks per Miss Darbie!

July 1st is when items checked out before quarantine and during curbside were due! We have also placed a cart inside the front doors that you can place your books into during our open hours in case you do not see our signs directing you to the back! Again, there are no late fines or fees on any of these items. We ask that you do not bring your items any further into the library as these items need to be quarantined for the safety of our patrons and our staff! After the conclusion of the second part of the study conducted on library specific materials, it has been determined that FOUR days of quarantine is recommended for all returned items. This means your returned items will remain on your card for four days before we check them back into the library. You are also welcome to set items you check out aside for this length of time prior to handling them at home. Thank you! 

Just a reminder that there are no fines on items that were checked out prior to quarantine in March. These items were not able to be returned to us due to our having to close our bookdrops and not through any fault of your own! Please turn in your items as soon as possible. Late fees due to quarantine are also not being assessed at this time! If you have any questions about the items you have in your possession, please call!

We've created an interactive slideshow that explains the benefits of having a Duncan Public Library Card!

Clicking the image above will open this up; there is a mini, digital escape room made for school-aged children, but anyone can do it!

The image below will take you to our online application for a library card. You can also use this form to update your existing account, reset your PIN, or find out if you still have the account you set up when you were eleven!

LIttle Free Libraries are all over Duncan! Take a book and leave a book. When you finish a book, leave it in one of these little libraries for someone else to enjoy! If you know of one we don't have listed, let us know!

Please remember that the books in these little libraries are protected only when they are inside and the doors are shut. Sadly, we've discovered a few ruined books that were left out in the wind and the rain.
