We Need Volunteers!

Library BooksWe need your help! The Meridian Library needs volunteers ages 14+ who will help out at our Summer Reading Program desk. Vounteers will help people fill out Summer Reading program online forms or print forms for all three age groups (Children, Teen, and Adult). Even better, you get to hand out prizes to kids/teens as they complete their first three levels and help adults enter to win prize drawings! Volunteers will be asked to work in 2-3 hour shifts. Training will be provided May 22nd at 4:00 p.m., and May 31st at 4:00 p.m. We only ask you attend one session. Please apply today!

Big Library Read

Thousands of library patrons around the world are participating in the first ever Big Library Read of an eBook, and you are invited to join in the fun. The Four Corners of the Sky is master storyteller Michale Malone's novel of love, secrets, and the mysterious bonds of families. Malone brings characters to life as only he can, exploring the questions that defy easy answers: Is love a choice or a calling? Why do the ties of family bind so tightly? And is forgiveness a gift to others...or a gift we give ourselves? Read now with your ereader, tablet device, or smart phone plus your Meridian Library card through June 1st!

Name Our Sorter

New SorterVote now!

Starting tomorrow we will begin working on installing our new automatic sorter. It's this giant machine that will take the Meridian Library books, DVDs, and CDs you return, check them in automatically, and place them into different bins! It's like we're living in the future. 

We have almost every aspect covered except for what to call the thing, since albeit descriptive, "The Sorter" lacks a certain flair (and we at the library are all about flair). So we are asking your help in deciding on a name. Our staff have come up with a few suggestions, but if you don't like any of them, we would love to hear your ideas
