Important Update Regarding Meeting Usage During Library Renovation

During 2026, we will be undergoing a renovation to better serve the people of Dearborn County. 

Due to the renovation, access to the Youth Services Department will be closed to the public during January and February. You will still be able to use the Ewbank Meeting Room throughout this closure, but our procedures for using the room have been modified:

  • Please enter the library via the High St. entrance. This entrance provides direct access to the Ewbank Meeting Room only. To access other areas of the library, you must use the Mary St. or Parking Lot entrances.
  • Once inside, please call our Adult Services Department at 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125. Let us know that you have arrived and provide your group's name. A staff member will come to unlock the room for your group.
  • If you need any assistance at any time during your meeting, please call 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125 and a staff member will come to help.
  • When your meeting has finished, please call 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125 again to let us know. Please leave your clipboard in the room. A staff member will come to lock the room and collect the clipboard. There is no need to wait for us.

We are excited to share our upgraded spaces with you once renovations are complete. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your library.

Program Description

We want to add color to the library shelves this summer! Can you help? Register to borrow one of the library's bookends to decorate! We provide the brushes and paint. Pick up a bookend and materials the week of Monday, June 5. Then return the painted bookend by Monday, June 26, to be displayed at the Lawrenceburg Main Library. The bookend judged the best will receive a prize. (Remember all bookends must be returned or we will have books just falling everywhere.)

When you register, add in the comments section what color paints you would like (you can choose up to 6 colors) and we will try our best to give you those colors. 

The library district makes the final decision on where bookends are displayed.
