The West Virginia Library Commission has posted a listing of vendors offering free access to their electronic resources, such as Amazon Prime Family Programming, Audible Stories, and Booklist online content.  Click here for a complete listing and links to each available resource.

 

The staff and board of the Shepherdstown Public Library would like you to know that we sincerely regret the impact that closing the library has had and will have on all of us. We appreciate your patience and support, and we will do our best to support you to the extent possible. For now, we are exercising the most extreme option of shutting down all services for patrons. We will reassess our status on a weekly basis and take the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and local authorities. 

 

You can still use the “Libby” app (Quick Link below) to access our eBook and eAudio collections. Many new audio books and eBooks are available!  If you need your library information to access Libby or need a new library card, contact Hali Taylor, Library Director, at (617) 710-7757 - she will be able to set you up - pass it on!
