In addition, the following is also offered to the public: a fax machine for sending and receiving, laminating machines, die cutting machines, computers for Internet and word processing, computer software, and a variety of home school materials.
The La Vergne Public Library is no longer a participant in the R.E.A.D.S. program. We are exploring options for other similar services to replace the program and hope to have news available soon.
Every year the library hosts a Summer Reading and Activities Program which allows school-aged children, teens, and adults to enjoy reading and library activities during the summer months.
Other special programs – including the Magic of Santa at Christmas and Gross Grub at Halloween – take place throughout the year.
