Services

Aside from books, DVDs, and public computer access, the Greenville-Butler Co. Public Library offers numerous other services to the public:

BCHGS RESEARCH ROOM
The Butler County Historical and Genealogical Society’s Research Room is located near the back of the library. The collection is extensive, containing information about not only Butler County, but other counties throughout the state. BCHGS volunteers are here on Tuesdays and can assist you with your research. The research room is open for anyone to use during the hours of the library.

DIE-CUT MACHINE
A Die-Cut Machine is available for public use in our workroom. Please bring your own paper when using the die-cuts.

LAMINATION
The library can laminate documents anywhere from the size of small cards (social security cards for example) to large posters up to 27 inches wide. Cards cost .50 cent each while prices for larger and multiple items vary based on yardage of laminate used. Items can be dropped off for pick-up later.

LITTLE FREE LIBRARY
The Little Free Library is in the front of the library and is available for anyone to use and enjoy. The LFL was graciously donated by Abbie Gardner Ballew State Farm. 

PAPERBACK EXCHANGE
Paperbacks in turnstiles are available for anyone to sign out. A library card is not needed. Patrons can sign out up to ten (10) paperbacks per visit at the Circulation Desk.

PATRON MATERIALS REQUEST
Have an item you think is needed in our collection? Please complete a patron request form at the Circulation Desk or drop us an email (please include your name, address, and phone number along with the title request). The library will make every effort to accommodate your request.
