With the beginning of the new year and homework assignments, parents please come in to the computer lab in the lower level of the library and fill out an application and sign a consent form if you want your child/children (17 and under) to have access to the Internet using the public access computers. We continually have students who need to obtain information for school reports from the Internet but do not have an agreement signed by a parent or guardian on file. We must have a user agreement signed by a parent or guardian for children and teens between the ages of birth to 17 years in order for the child or teen to use the public Internet computers. 

Do you need Internet access and do not have a computer at home? Visit the computer lab in the lower level of the library. You may use a computer for one hour. No advance appointments are taken. Use is on a first come, first served basis.

Do you have a laptop computer with wireless capabilities? Do you need somewhere to log-on? Your library is a “hot spot.” You may use your wireless anywhere inside the library, the community room or any of the parking lots around the library!

Do you know that your preschool child (ages birth to their fifth birthday) can receive a free book each month through the mail? If not, come by or call the library to enroll your child in the Cumberland County Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Over fourteen hundred of the eligible children in Cumberland County are enrolled and receiving their book each month! It is very important that you let the Imagination Library coordinator (James Houston, deputy director) know if you have a change of address. If not, your child will not receive their books.

You can sponsor a child for $30 per year. Sponsorship forms are available on the library’s Web site, www.artcircle.crossville.com, or you may bring your money to the library.

You can contact the library by visiting the Art Circle Public Library at 154 East First Street, Crossville, TN 38555; or phone at 484-6790, or fax at 931-484.2350, or check us out on the Web at http://www.artcircle.crossville.com, and by e-mail. Debra Kokes, library director – dhkokes@crossville.com; James Houston, deputy director – jshouston@crossville.com; Patricia Dalton, children’s librarian – pjdalton@crossville.com; Margo Brown, reference librarian – mlbrown@crossville.com.
