Tutoring Program
One-on-one help in a variety of subjects can be arranged through the library. Whether it's for school, work, or for yourself, the library can help find a tutor to suit your needs.
The library needs volunteer tutors to keep this program going. For more information or if you think you have what it takes to be a tutor, contact the library or read more here.
Computers & Printing
Ten one-hour sit down computers and two 15-minute stand-up computers are available for adult patrons. No library card is required, and sign up is at the reference desk.
Some computers offer CAC/Smart Card readers, and all computers have internet access and printing capabilities unless otherwise specified.
Printing is ten cents ($0.10) per page. Patrons are responsible for every page that prints, so it is highly recommended to ask a member of the reference staff for help when printing.
Wireless internet is also available for public use. The wireless password of the day is displayed in the library. Wirless printing is not available.
For kids' and teens' computers, please visit the Young Peoples Department (select "Kids" or "Teens" at the top menu).
Digitized Yearbooks
Junction City High School and St. Xavier Catholic High School yearbooks are being digitized for your convenience! Patrons will now be able to flip through the yearbooks even if they can't make it into the library. You can find them here.
Years digitized so far include:
JCHS 1996-2009
ST.X 1994, 1995, 1998-2004
Digitized Daily Union Newspapers
Back issues of the Daily Union have caught up to the digital age. Instead of scrolling through rolls upon rolls of microfilm, patrons need only enter keywords or know the dates they're looking for.
Find the digitized newspaper here.
Newspapers range from 1861–2015. That's our entire newspaper microfilm collection!
