As the citizens of Yatesville approach the
Yatesville Public Library, many will remember times in the not so
distant past when the town sported its own high school. The library
was designed to be a small replica of the school building that
educated the youth and was the central hub of so many Yatesville
activities. |
 |
In the entry are located several models
representing buildings that were important to the economic history of
Yatesville. In this case is located scale models of the train station
and the old hotel. A picture of the boys basketball team hangs on the wall
above the display case. |
 |
On the opposite side of the entry is
located another case containing scale models of the Grist Mill
from a nearby stream and the Girls College that was located on College
Street. |
 |
We are proud to display a letter from
former President Jimmy Carter commending Yatesville and The Rural
Library Project's achievement! |
 |
To the right as you enter is our children's
book section. The balloons are part of the decorations for the summer
reading program. We had over 30 kids attend this summer! |
 |
This view is from the children's reading
area back toward our library staff's desk. |
 |
Our adult section is located to the left of
the entrance and contains several tables for working on projects or
reading. |
 |
Does your town suffer from the digital
divide? Not this town. We have six new computers that have Internet
access through our T-1 connection! If you need help in learning how to
use a computer, we offer Computer Basic and Internet Usage classes
free of charge! |
 |
This is the center and heart of our library
- the staff's desk where you can check out books, books on tape, movies
and more! |
 |
For the convenience of the staff, we
included a full kitchen. This also comes in handy for serving snacks
during meetings and reading programs. |
 |
Located near the back entrance is our
reading area, where you can kick back and enjoy that novel you just
found. |
 |
Outside the back of the library is the
start of our garden. The newest addition is the arbors and swings.
Eventually we will have a pavilion where we can feature outdoor
concerts and other community events. |
 |
Time to relax on a beautiful summer
morning. |
 |
To commemorate this fine facility, we
dedicated this bronze plaque to those whose efforts will benefit
Yatesville for generations to come. |
 |
With minor modifications made during
construction, this is the 2,600 square ft. floor plan for the
energy efficient, passive solar heated, Yatesville Public Library. |
