New Services

The Meyersdale Public Library is excited to offer our patronage the option to download eAudiobooks onto their personal MP3 players, I-pods, or PCs. It is necessary for one of our librarians to assist individuals in establishing an account. Once an account has been created, it can be accessed from any computer. As is often the case with anything new, we are still trying to work out the bugs in the system. Please be patient as we strive to get the individual library collection accounts established. The NetLibrary eAudiobook service is being provided by the Somerset County Federated Library system. Making sure that each library within that system, ours included, has its own page has proven to be a challenge. I am keeping a close eye on the situation and will keep you updated on any progress made towards making this service efficient for our clientele.

Please take a moment to browse the new Help For Your Family Link on our web page. We understand that the current economic climate has been difficult for many of us. In an effort to help you and your family find the help you might be needing, we have listed county agencies and services designed to offer assistance to area families. For example, within the Community Action Partnership for Somerset County site you can find the following programs: Housing assistance, Utility assistance, Employment assistance, Welfare to Work, Transportation, Head Start, Life skills, Food Pantries, Workshops, and the Salisbury Family Center. If you have any questions about the sites listed in our new link, please contact us by email or phone.
