Website Changes

By Kate S. - Last updated: Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Our website will be undergoing some changes this week in preparation for our new checkout system and catalog.

If you see our catalog search box, please note that the information you will see there IS NOT NECESSARILY ACCURATE.  Check back Tuesday, March 23 to see the real deal!

Tax forms

By Kate S. - Last updated: Friday, January 8, 2010

The library has free federal tax forms and booklets available. Additionally, staff can help you print out any forms you might need from the IRS website (www.irs.gov).  Printing costs are $.10 per page.

The State of Oklahoma DID NOT provide the library with state tax forms or booklets.  Forms are found online at www.tax.ok.gov. Again, staff will assist you with printing or copying any forms that you need.  Printing costs are $.10 per page.

For those seeking assistance filing their taxes, the library suggests you contact Community Action at 405-262-7042.  Beginning mid-January, they will offer free assistance in their office located at 203 N. Bickford.

A new way to find us!

By Kate S. - Last updated: Monday, March 1, 2010

The library has a new address! (Well,  a new web address that is!)

www.elrenolibrary.org will bring you straight to our site.  It’s much easier to remember than our old web address.

Fear not, your old bookmarks and the old web address will still get you here.
