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

Meet us at the Lawrenceburg Main Library Vine Street entrance for a walk up on the levee or around Downtown Lawrenceburg! In May we will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, but will continue into June for this 12-week program, held in partnership with Purdue Extension Dearborn County. It is part of the Purdue Extension's Get Walkin' program- helping Hoosiers get on their feet!

No registration needed to walk. But if you register and provide your email, we can contact you directly if we need to cancel for any reason. All ages are welcome, but no pets allowed.

You can just join us for the walk, or if you like extra motivation, sign-up for the free Get Walkin' email support program. You will receive a total of 16 emails, two per week the first month and one per week for the next eight weeks. Just email Marcia Parcell for more information on the Get WalkIN' email program- mparcell@purdue.edu

Starting in May, the walk will sometimes be followed by a special program. You can attend both or either one! (Special programs may require registration.) So far we have scheduled Hands-Free CPR starting at 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 16, and LifeCenter will talk about organ donation starting at 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 23, at the Lawrenceburg Main Library.

Additional walking dates for the Lawrenceburg Main Library include: Tuesday, June 6, 13 & 20. Special program with Archaeological Research Institute June 6.

North Dearborn Branch also has walking dates set for 8 a.m. on Mondays in May 3- no walk on Memorial Day. See that listing for more details!
