New patrons may check out one book per card the day they open an account and up to four books when the first is returned.

Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Library/Library Society may be contacted by calling Stroud Public Library. Annual book sales are held in May & December to benefit the library and support programming.

The Library Society/Friends of the Library accept donations year-round. Just bring the books to the Library during business hours. Newly published and gently used books may be added to the collection. The library especially depends on such donations in the fall and winter when funds are low. Other items go into the book sales. Donations are particularly welcomed just before a sale! As always, monetary gifts are welcome and can be designated by the donor for a specific purpose.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library

Stroud Library Society is now partnered with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to give a free, age-appropriate book mailed to the home of young children living in the Stroud area each month. Most of Lincoln County is now covered.

    • If you have a child less than 5 years old and live in Lincoln County
    • Register your child today for Free at ImaginationLibrary.com!
    • In 6-8 weeks, your child will receive their first book in the mail, ‘The Little Engine That Could’
    • Books will arrive in the mail monthly until your child’s 5th birthday.

The Stroud Library Society would appreciate your help to make sure all of the children in the Stroud area may continue to receive such wonderful books in their home. It takes $32 to support one child for a year. If you would like to help this program continue, kindly contact the Stroud Public Library for more information or Donate Online at imaginationlibrary.com

Volunteer

The library has general filing and book shelving work that may be done by volunteers year-round. However, help is especially needed during Summer Reading Program, typically held each Thursday in June.
