To celebrate America's 250th, Maroa Public Library District's commitment to local businesses, library patrons, and artisans is taking a huge step forward by replacing copy and print services—with scribes. Library staff have been working all winter to perfect their skills. Documents can take up to two weeks for copying, and the cost is $150 a page.

March 24th is National Ag Day!

What is Ag Day? Agriculture is at the heart of our everyday lives—and this special day is all about celebrating the incredible abundance it provides. Each year, farmers, ranchers, agricultural organizations, businesses, universities, and individuals across the country come together to honor the vital role agriculture plays in feeding, fueling, and sustaining our nation.

Here at the library, we’re proud to support lifelong learning about agriculture—past, present, and future. Stop in to check out books and resources on farming, food systems, and rural life, and join us in celebrating the people who help our communities grow.

Recommended agriculture books for use as additional resources or centerpieces of a curriculum.
