Bentleyville Public Library
My girlfriend Karen and I were used to being ignored . . . or judged. As we slowly walked through the door of the Bentleyville Public Library, we weren’t sure that this time would be any different. However, we were willing to take a chance. We needed help.
The children who attend the Bentleyville Public Library's LEGO Club stand excitedly beside buckets filled with LEGOs, waiting for the signal to begin; hands at the ready. That's the excitement they feel for LEGO Club.
Part of the Washington County Library System, the 75 year-old Bentleyville Public Library boasts a mix of physical books and an online catalog, all in spite of being housed in a temporary facility while renovations are being completed at its primary location.
