You do not have to check them out &amp; if you want to keep them that is fine.  You may donate your old puzzles for others to work, you may have them back or leave them here.  We hope this is another service that our patrons will enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7e6dae9fcc4e7c91681a0f59d2f5d636\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>THINGS TO DO AT THE PIPER CITY LIBRARY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Find answers to questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make photocopies (black &amp; white &amp; color)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look at &amp; check out magazines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read local newspaper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check out adult &amp; children&#8217;s books<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study Ford County history<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read books about Piper City history<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn about Genealogy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examine the Piper City Journal and the Round Table on the computer &amp; purchase zip drives containing all the papers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listen or check out audio books<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read large print books<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We have coloring sheets for your children to color while you browse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attend a variety of programs for adults &amp; children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hear a story<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We can keep a record of the books you read if you like<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check out videos for adults &amp; children<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do research by books &amp; computer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attend occasional book sales<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fax papers &#8211; FAX machine is currently broken, we hope to have an alternative soon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several activities for the children throughout the year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check out informational pamphlets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Synopsis of new books are printed in all the local newspapers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New books are listed on our web site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laminate your important papers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attend Garden Group<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attend the Craft Club<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Challenge your mind with jigsaw puzzles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy our creative bulletin board &amp; show case  If you have a collection of items &amp; would like to share them, we would enjoy displaying them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use our facility as a warming or cooling center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Register to vote.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We belong to Illinois Heartland Library System, which means if we don&#8217;t have a book you would like to read &amp; it is in the systems, we can borrow it for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pick up a copy or just sit &amp; read the historical newsletter &#8220;The Panhandle Piper&#8221;.   <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW HOURS FOR THE LIBRARY Mondays 9:00am &#8211; 12:00n &amp; 1:00pm &#8211; 5:00pm Wednesdays 9:00am &#8211; 12:00n &amp; 1:00pm &#8211; 5:00pm Thursdays 3:00pm &#8211; 6:00pm Fridays 9:00 am &#8211; 12:00n &amp; 1:00pm &#8211; 5:00pm Saturdays 10:00am &#8211; 12:00pm SPRING STORY <span class=\"excerpt-dots\">&hellip;<\/span> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6"}],"version-history":[{"count":246,"href":"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2061,"href":"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions\/2061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pipercitylibrary.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
