The Peabody Public Library was established in 1901 and was founded on a commitment to serve the Columbia City community. That commitment to community continues today as Peabody is not only a place for books but strives to be the heart of the community. We provide comfortable welcoming spaces, free computer access, books, movies, games, programs for all ages, and rooms for quiet study or group meetings. Library staff focus on providing excellent service to all and love to help find answers to questions and bring joy to people’s lives.

There are several ways you can donate to the library.  We accept all types of donations, including books, DVDs, gaming software and, of course, monetary.  Click on the links below for more information.

We sincerely thank you for your donations!
