The library currently has federal tax forms 1040 and 1040EZ as well as the instruction booklets for 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ.  We have been notified that the forms 1040A have just been shipped and should arrive shortly.  We do not have any of the other publications.  You need to call the IRS or print off the forms from their website.

           

We have an ample supply of West Virginia state tax booklets.  The state includes the forms and the instructions in one booklet.  Please only take what you need.  The forms are limited and difficult to re-order.

           

Renovations should start some time in March.  We are hoping to keep the times we must close to a minimum so please watch the website and this column. 

           

March programs are affected by these renovations, but certain core programs such as Story Time and the reading groups will continue in various parts of the library.  Story Time continues at 10:30 a.m. on Fridays and Books and Barks in which children read to trained therapy dogs meets on the first Saturday of the month from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Because the number of dogs available is limited registration is required.
