FREDERICKTOWN COMMUNITY LIBRARY

For the health and safety of our patrons and staff due to COVID-19 concerns, the Fredericktown Community Library  is curbside only. Just give us a call, email your requests, or reach out to us on social media. Patrons are welcome to continue to return items in the drop box. Items will remain in a holding for a few days before they are cleaned and checked back in for the next patron. Currently we are fine free. This does not apply to items not returned. All of our online services are available and Wi-Fi is available in our parking lots. If you have an questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for your patience at this time. Stay well.

As of November 11, 2020, Governor Mike Dewine issued a statewide mask mandate requiring all patrons wear a mask while in public.

Masks must be worn at all times when:
- At an indoor location that’s not a residence.
- Outdoors, when unable to keep 6ft social distance from those not in your household.
- When waiting for, riding, driving, or operating public transportation -taxi, car service, private rideshare.

All current orders remain in effect until the State of Emergency declared by the Governor no longer exists, or the Director of the Ohio Department of Health lifts or modifies the order.

Kensington's Cozy Club

Cozy Mystery: Comedic murder mysteries that show you what happens when you put a quilter, a candy shop owner, a baker, a pet sitter or some other wholly inappropriate sleuth on the case to solve a crime. More precisely, cozies are lighthearted murder mysteries with plenty of humor, no graphic violence or sex, and an amateur sleuth (or sleuthing team) who lives in some sort of close-knit community and solves crimes while juggling a day job, a hobby or other responsibilities.
https://sites.kensingtonbooks.com/kensingtoncozies/reader.html
Are you crazy for cozies? Join the club! Become a member of Kensington's Cozy Club at the Fredericktown Community Library.
  1. Ask for a Cozy Card at the circulation desk.
  2. Every time you check out a new cozy mystery, ask the librarian to punch your Cozy Card.
  3. Once you’ve earned 10 punches on either card, fill out your name, address and email. If you need more space, feel free to write your information on a separate piece of paper and enclose it along with the completed Cozy Card. Mail the completed card to Kensington (the address is on the card!).
  4. Once Kensington receives it, they will send you a FREE book plus a new Cozy Card in 2-3 weeks!

A library is many things to many people. It can be a place of sanctuary, for time alone in a little reading nook. It can be the safest place in the world to socialize and make new friends in reading groups and at special events. It's up to each individual to use the library in the best way that suits their needs. You're never bored when your nose is in a book." ~Sybrina Durant~
