Philo Public Library District

It is that time of year again. Hunting tax forms, reviewing receipts, and trying to remember where you put that last piece of information needed to satisfy the IRS. Here at the Philo Public Library, we have a couple of options to try to make the tax process a little less stressful. First, we are receiving a variety of 2011 tax forms and instructions. Tax forms can also be printed at the cost of 10 cents per page. Our next effort to help is Vernon Meier will be available at the Philo Public Library to assist you in filling out your tax forms. Vernon is trained by the AARP and can file most Illinois and Federal tax returns online. He will be working by Appointment Only at the library on Thursday afternoons beginning February 9th. He can be reached at 684-2935 if you would like to talk with him and see about setting up an appointment.

Yes, winter is finally here. During times of questionable weather, please call ahead to confirm we are open. 684-2896. Our goal is to serve our patrons while taking into consideration their safety and the safety of our staff. The Philo Public Library would like to Thank You for your understanding if we feel the need to close early or not open as scheduled during bad weather.

You may be noticing changes in our local Library system. The formerly Lincoln Trails Library system is now the Illinois Heartland Libraries System. The Philo Public Library webpage can still be found at www.PhiloLibrary.info, however our email address has been changed to wwwPhiloPubLib@gmail.com. We will continue to let our patrons know of changes as they occur.

Please recycle your empty and bagged
(squashed if possible) aluminum cans by dropping them off in our bins behind the library. We use the money we receive from recycling them to buy new movies.

Thank you.
