Teen Resources

COLLEGE/EDUCATION: 

The primary purpose of the meeting rooms at Lima Public Library is to provide facilities for library related activities. The library's needs for meeting rooms take precedence over all other uses.

Memorial Book Donations:

A book can provide a lasting tribute to the memory of a loved one or provide a unique way to honor special events such as birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or other special occasions.  Your gift to the library will not only be a lasting memorial, but will also bring enjoyment and knowledge to the community.

A book can provide a lasting tribute to the memory of a loved one or provide a unique way to honor special events such as birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or other special occasions.  Your tax deductible gift to the library will not only be a lasting memorial, but will also bring enjoyment and knowledge to the community.

Each memorial book will have a special bookplate which gives the name of the person to whom the book is dedicated and the name of the donor.  The library will also send a letter to the person being honored or the surviving family.
