All of our storytime programs are for children ages 5 and under, and feature books, rhymes, crafts, games and other fun. We ask that you bring your own blanket or seats, and maintain social distancing. We can’t wait to see you!

State and Federal tax forms are now available in limited quantity at the library. For many years, the library has participated in Tax Form Distribution Programs. In the past, the library received many copies of tax forms, schedules and instructions. In recent years, the Federal and State governments, in an effort to reduce waste and encourage electronic filing, have reduced the amount of tax products mailed to individuals and tax form outlets such as the library.
Both Federal and State governments report that more than 90% of tax returns are now filed online! We still receive forms, just not as many as we once did. Library patrons and community members are welcome to stop by to pick up forms or use the library’s public computers to file their federal and state taxes.
Library office services are also available to print copies of forms, W-2s and more. Both the IRS and the Ohio Department of Taxation have information-rich, up-to-date websites for consumer questions related to filing, forms, deadlines and identity theft. Visit www.irs.gov or www.tax.ohio.gov for forms, instructions and more.
New to library office services? Public use computers, laptops and scanners are available for use at no cost. Printing, scanning and faxing services are available for use at minimal cost. Users can also access the web to register for COVID-19 vaccinations, apply for jobs and benefits, or file federal or state income tax. Users may also create documents, and access email or ecommerce sites.
Our online resources are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Information about all of our resources can be found on the Library’s website, www.cplwcho.org, or by calling the Washington Court House Library at 740-335-2540. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @cplwcho.
