Library News

We will up date our news page as new events and services take place. Only the most recent news will be displayed.

New Automation System

The Martin County Public Library system has replaced an outmoded, labor intensive system for loaning and tracking materials at both of its locations, Inez and Lovely. The automated system will link the two locations of the library to aid staff and patrons in quickly locating materials at either locations, reduce the need for duplication, and make record sharing between both locations more efficient. The patrons of the Martin County Public Library will receive faster and higher quality service due to the introduction of an automated circulation and catalog system that replaced the manual, paper based system.

Computer Classes

The Martin County Public Library System will be hosting computer classes. If you are interested in attending the classes please call us for details. Donnie Osborne will be teaching the classes at Martin County Public Library at 10:30 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. every Wednesday and at Rufus Reed Public Library at 4:30 P.M. every Thursday.
