Your Rowan County Public Library
@rowancountylibrary.bsky.social
The one in Morehead, KY, not the one in North Carolina, we swear.
Don't forget that we're closed today and tomorrow! None of your items are due, so focus on your holiday and don't worry about it. Alternatively, if you—like many of us—can't ever STOP worrying, there's always our 24/7 drive-thru book drop.

So... We asked y'all if you preferred ham or turkey for the holidays, and you answered! By a (very) narrow margin, the winner is HAM. 🐷 To be fair, quite a few of you have both, and to that we say...why choose when you don't have to? 😊 (Also, can you please pass the mashed potatoes? Thank you.) 🍽️

Our annual holiday open house is 5pm December 8! You're invited to enjoy food, cheer, and live music as we wind down another great year of being your public library. Come have a good time, mingle with library staff and your library-using neighbors, and help us bid a fond farewell to 2025. 💙

Some changes are coming to Hoopla, but it's not going anywhere—item availability may simply fluctuate a bit. Already using a Hoopla? Remember you've got free access to Libby and Freading, too! If you haven't tried any of them, now's a great time to see what else your library card can do for you.

Just a heads up that we'll be closed on Thursday and Friday next week, November 27 and 28. Y'all know the drill: Nothing you have checked out will be due for return on those days, but our 24/7 drive-thru book drop is always there for you. Always. It'll listen without judgment, no matter what.

Autumn's the time to read up on camping, hiking, and more!. Hunter recommends KY author Craig Caudill: "He makes the outdoors accessible, not intimidating, so he's great for both beginners and experienced folks."
Check out our staff picks or the front desk chalkboard to see what else we're reading!

It's that time again: We know you have a favorite. YOU know you have a favorite. But what IS the favorite? Tell us whether you're eating turkey or ham for the holidays! (Whichever wins, we won't tell the other one.) If you're serving neither, share your dish of choice and why—we'd love to know. 🍽️

As our friends and neighbors may soon experience food insecurity, we're sharing resources that can help. We've made a list of places to go and events to attend if you're affected, and will update it as we find new ways our community is supporting one another.

If you haven't seen it yet, our circ team has been hard at work shifting our audiobook collection to its new home. They should be easier to find and browse now, but we put up a sign to point the way, just in case. 👍 Check 'em out!

Unsure what to read? Harley just finished "The House of My Mother" by Shari Franke. "It was emotional, but I couldn't put it down. What we do to each other can be awful, but what we can survive is amazing."

A big thank-you to Jade for bringing us these amazing cranberry-oatmeal cookies! Aaaaand we should probably apologize for not getting a better picture of them, but...well, they were so good that we'd eaten most of them by the time we thought about it. 😅 As usual, our community spoils us. 💙
