Computer Classes at the Library

The Reference Department will offer computer instruction classes this spring on a monthly basis. Training will include “Basic Internet Skills,” “E-mail: Setting up and Maintaining an Account,” and Heritage Quest genealogical database.

Each class will be scheduled once a month and will meet on either a Monday or Friday morning from 9:00 to 10:15. Contact the Reference Department at 682-5666 ext. 206 for more information or to sign up for a class.

If you are interested in a class but are unable to attend at the scheduled time, staff will attempt to schedule other sessions.

Excellent Service Plan

The Leavenworth Public Library strives to provide excellent service to the citizens of Leavenworth. However, in order to continue to maintain that level of excellence, the library must constantly look at how it operates and make changes where they are needed to meet the growing needs of the community.

This spring and summer, the library underwent a planning process that resulted in a Strategic Plan, 2004-2006 that will guide the library's services and programs for the next three years.

Mystery Book Talk

Do you enjoy trying to figure out "who done it"? Join us at the library the third Wednesday of each month from 11:30-1:00 while we dissect a different mystery conundrum each month.

Bring your lunch and munch while we explore the macabre in mystery fiction. Visit the reference desk for a copy of this month's treacherous tale!

New Book Titles

The Leavenworth Public Library is changing the process of ordering popular new books. The new method is called a "standing order plan" from Ingram Book Services.

Once it is up and running, we will receive books by popular authors more quickly and in larger numbers.

As we change from the old process to the new plan, there may be a delay in obtaining titles. If there is a new book that you have been watching for and haven't found yet in our database, please fill out a request slip at the check out desk or send us an email.
