This Month's Featured Service: Driving-Tests.org   

We are happy to report that the library has gotten a service kiosk from the IDOT that will allow you to renew your driver's license right here in our lobby! We are pleased to offer a new companion service, Driving-Tests.org. Need to brush up on your driving skills or study for your permit? Try these online practice tests. 

 

 
A public library exists to serve its communities and residents - we invite you to tell us what you want and need from the Marion Public Library. More digital content? Bigger meeting spaces? Creative programming for children or teens? Tools for entrepreneurs? We want you to share your ideas and opinions in a community survey that will open to participation later this month. When the survey is ready we'll post a link to it on the library's website. You'll also be able to participate by phone, and we'll provide a phone number for that. Vernon Research Group is conducting the study for the library. Your feedback will be confidential and your identity will be protected.  This is an opportunity to think outside the boundaries of traditional library services - so think big and small and share your ideas on ways the library can enhance the lives of individuals, families and the community as a whole. Watch for the survey coming soon!
