Hello readers,
Welcome September! The Ralls County Library is hopping with fall programming. Check out our calendar and the staff page for more information and how you can join us!
One new development is a card catalog system for school-aged students called KPAC.
This system searches our library resources for all Easy and Juvenile books. You can get to this system through the webpage www.rallscountylibrary.com or come into the library to the student computer. Click on the icon and search!
