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

Considering planting a garden as grocery prices rise? Or do you want to add some variety to your flowers and plants? 

Then plan on attending the Plant Swap at the Lawrenceburg Main Library and North Dearborn Branch Library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 20. 

Bring some plants (or seeds) to trade! There also will be a limited number of plants and seeds at both locations available for free without a swap. 

What kind of plants will be available? Well, we will not know everything until the day of the swap. We are not sure what other people will bring, but thanks to some staff members, volunteers, SEI Community Gardens and more, we do have a place to start. 

If everything grows according to plan, there will be some herbs including borage, chamomile and basil. Peppers, squash, cucumber, zinnias, mimosa, sunflowers and milkweed also are on the “keep your fingers crossed” list. 

To know for sure, you need to attend! So, mark your calendar and start planting. We hope to see you there. No registration needed.
