Pioneer Library System

Pioneer Library System customers can reduce their existing library fines and help feed the hungry in their communities by taking advantage of the Food for Fines program.

The special event runs November 30 through December 6 in all of the hometown libraries. Any non-perishable food item brought into the library that week is worth $1 in reduction of existing library fines. Each item is worth $1 up to a maximum of $20 in fine reductions.

The Food for Fines donations apply only to existing library fines. The program does not apply to customer charges for lost or damaged materials, nor can it be used to settle debts that have been turned over to the Unique Management collection agency or to pay service fees associated with debt collection.

Public libraries in Blanchard, McLoud, Moore, Newcastle, Noble, Norman, Purcell, Shawnee, and Tecumseh will be accepting non-perishable, non-expired, unopened, undamaged food items during the Food for Fines campaign.

It's holiday season - which for many of you means long car trips, hours of endless cooking, early morning Black Friday lines and finding interesting entertainment for families and friends not seen in a while. Luckily for you, your hometown library has some new books and videos available for download.

Below is a small sample of the new and newly acquired OverDrive titles. Whether you want history, fiction, children's classic, pop culture or movie tie-ins your PLS Virtual Library is here for you.

Don't have a device to download to? You can always add an OverDrive compatible device to your holiday wish list.

The hometown libraries of the Pioneer Library System will be closing at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, November 25. They will remain closed Thursday and Friday, November 26 and 27, in observance of Thanksgiving Day.

We encourage you to celebrate the national holiday with your family and friends and enjoy all the shared food and traditions.

For millions of people, Thanksgiving begins with watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on the television.  It wasn't until 1947, that the whole nation could enjoy the parade on television, but it was already a staple of the holiday season.  The legendary parade began in 1924 with just Macy's employees and animals from the Central Park Zoo.  It was such a success that the parade became an annual event and grew over the years to include the giant helium balloons, floats, and performers seen today.
