New Joplin Public Library to open May 30, book drop already available

(From the Joplin Public Library)

Patrons wanting to return items to the Joplin Public Library should go to the new Joplin Public Library at 1901 East 20th Street and use the newly opened drive through book drop. The book drop at the Library’s former Main Street location is now officially closed. Signage at the Main Street facility redirects patrons to the new location to return items.

Citizens should deposit all materials via the drive through book drop located on the north side of the facility on 20th Street. Patrons using the drive through will place their items in the book drop from the driver’s side of the vehicle. Please use caution while driving on the Library property, as it still a work zone with frequent deliveries and truck traffic.

Since Sunday, May 14, Library staff have been moving the contents of the 300 South Main facility to its new building. There are 120,000 items in the collection that will be moved. This includes books, periodicals, and audio-visual items for patrons’ use, along with the massive amount of reference materials, operational equipment, computers and office furniture.

The Library located on Main Street closed on Sunday, May 14. This public resource will reopen at its new location on Tuesday, May 30. A Grand Opening event is set for 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 3. Everyone is invited to attend this event.
