The Warren Public Library circulates books, DVD’s, CD’s, magazines, and audio books for both adults and children.  We have a Young Adult selection of materials also.

DVD’s go out for a period of one week.

Other new materials go out for 2 weeks. Materials older than 6 months go out for three weeks. An item may be renewed if it is not on request or hold. Items may be renewed in person, by phone or via email.

There are no overdue charges on other materials.  If an item is lost or damaged, the patron will be charged the full cost of the item.

Materials from other libraries may be requested through Bibliomation or a librarian.  Your request may also be emailed.

New titles (less than 6 months or a year) may not be loaned out from other libraries, as well as DVD’s.

A computer is available for public use.  We have Microsoft Office, Access and Publisher available.

Wi-Fi service is available during the Library’s normal business hours.

A printer/copier is available:

$.20 per page black & white

$.30 per page color

A fax machine is available for sending and receiving at $1.00 per page.  If we are to receive a fax, we need advance notice.

Museum passes are available at the front desk of the library. It may be a good idea in the summer months to call ahead for availability of the pass. We also have information on hours and programs at each location. 860-868-2195
