The Baldwin City Public Library has a great selection of books, magazines, multimedia (videos and DVDs too!) and programs for all ages with helpful staff to assist you. If we don’t have what you want, we can probably find it for you through interlibrary loan. Be sure to use the quick link to the World Book on the left side of the screen. Let the staff know you have used the link the next time you visit the library in person. We would like to have your feedback.

BALDWIN CITY SEED LENDING LIBRARY
The Seed Lending Library is now open at the Baldwin City Library. We have a wide variety of vegetables and flowers for you to grow, save the seeds and return the second generation seeds to the library. This is open to everyone – kids to adults – and it’s FREE.
Pardon our construction mess while we improve and expand Baldwin City Public Library for our great patrons. Please use the north door to enter the library and remember that we may have to close unexpectedly at times due to problems from the construction. We hope that will not happen frequently but we ask that you bear with us for the next several months. Thank you from the staff of BCPL.

The Friends have requested that the funds be used toward the new reading room that will be added as part of the library’s ongoing expansion construction.
