Purchase Suggestions
The Marion Library Service encourages purchase suggestions for items not already in the collection or unavailable from another public library.
We place a high priority on satisfying customer requests and materials will be purchased if they meet the needs of the collection and if the budget allows.
Daisy Players
If you are unable to read a book for any reason, then you could benefit from borrowing a DAISY player.
The unique DAISY player design makes it easy to play and listen to audio books. Players are available for people with temporary or permanent conditions.
The library has a number of DAISY players can be borrowed for up to six months.
Give your details to our friendly staff. We will then make contact with you about using this free service.
