Special Services

Copy / Print / Scan /Fax

We have a self-service printer/scanner in the Public Services area and a fax at the circulation desk.

Golden Buckeye Card

If you’re 60 or older, you can apply for a Golden Buckeye card at the library. Many merchants offer discounts to card holders — camp sites, dentists, fitness centers, hair stylists, hardware stores, grocers, museums, restaurants, veterinarians and more. Many merchants have the Golden Buckeye logo on their doors. The card, which is a program of the Ohio Department of Aging, also is available to people with disabilities who are 18 to 59.

Gallery Space

Our library has gallery space where local and regional artists, collectors, groups and photographers can display their work.  As part of our cultural mission, Madison Public Library enjoys being a community gathering space that attracts community wide events and meetings. With the library’s easy accessibility, convenient hours and continuous traffic flow, it is a dynamic place for an art display. Contact the library to reserve the gallery space for your exhibit.

Voter Registration

Not registered to vote? No problem. We have voter registration forms at our Information Desk. You fill it out, and we’ll happily mail it to the Lake County Board of Elections for you. Or, if you’d prefer, you can pick up a form here and mail it in yourself. Call the library for more information about this service.

Typewriters

Sometimes you just need an old-school typewriter to get the job done. We understand. That’s why we keep a typewriter here at the library for public use. Stop in or give us a call, and we’ll make arrangements for you to use it here in the library.

Test Proctoring

With more students taking advantage of distance learning and online school opportunities, the need for test proctors has risen, and we are happy to provide this service. Proctors monitor students while taking tests. Please call the library to speak with Dee Culbertson or Melanie Lyttle to learn more about our test proctor services or to schedule a time for a test to be proctored.

The Library will be closed today

We apologize for any inconvenience.
