Tax Time

If you are coming to the library to file your taxes online or to pick up your tax forms, please note the following:

• Online: You will want to go to IRS.gov to get started.
• Paper Forms: Since we are being supplied with limited hard copies for paper filing, you are permitted to print one (1) copy of each tax form you need by requesting a copy at the Information Desk. Additional forms can be printed at our usual rate of 10 cents ($.10) per page.
  • IRS Printable Forms
  • Indiana Printable Forms
  • 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ will be available without printing.

Jeopardy!

Teams have been formed and the games have begun, but we continue to welcome audience members to munch popcorn and enjoy this entertaining demonstration of local wit and expertise. Our second preliminary round will be held on February 3rd and our final round (during which our winners will be decided) on February 17th.

NEW! - Freegal Music Adds Streaming Capabilities

Did you know that your green Peabody Public Library card entitles you to dowload free music every week from Freegal music? Well, now you can do even more! Cardholders who were in the past able to download 3 MP3s per week can now stream 3 hours per day in addition to their weekly downloads. A counter will notify you of your streaming allotment and usage. If you do not see the streaming feature, just log out and log back into your account. The first time you use the new 4.0 Streaming Interface, a large pop-up screen entitled “Streaming 1-2-3” will walk you through the basics of streaming. See the Freegal Music FAQ page for more information.

Dreams Start at the Library: Make a Wish!

A dream can start with a book, a literacy class, a lecture or access to a computer. Often it starts with asking a librarian a question . . ."Where would I find . . . and could you help me?"

Our staff is fortunate to have the opportunity to help people in our community pursue their dreams every day. Our dream is to make your library an even better place for you, your children and grandchildren.

We've created a new online Library WishList. Browse through colorful pages filled with books, volunteer opportunities and items we need for your library. It's fun!

Choose an item you'd like to see at the library, make a contribution towards the purchase (no amount is too small), or sponsor an item in memory of a loved one. When the "wish" is completed we'll let you know, and the next time you're in the library you can see the Wish you helped make come true.

Visit our Library WishList and help make a Wish come true.

Thank you so very much!!
