LIB-11 / LIB-12 DUG · AS OF NOVEMBER 2026
The library's present establishment is small, exact, and load-bearing in the town's civic life: it is open 43 hours a week and serves as the room where the town's public business comes when it needs one. The State Library's 2026 directory lists the hours — Monday and Tuesday 10 to 5, Wednesday and Thursday 10 to 7, Friday 10 to 5, Saturday 10 to 2, Sunday closed — a board meeting the second Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., and the library's own email, walkerton.lincoln.library@gmail.com. Its homepage carries the working services of a modern small library: the online catalog and databases, public computers and free Wi-Fi, and a program calendar running children, teen, and adult programming — among it the Fourth Annual Unity Garden Picnic & Plant of May 2025, run with the Walkerton Elementary Student Council, and the Walkerton Senior Resource Expo its director's testimonial names. An era marker survives at pointer grade: the state's 1970 directory of Indiana libraries lists "Public Library, Walkerton 46574" under the old 219 area code and the 586 exchange the town still uses. The institution that began with 150 donated books and two dollars is, in 2026, the township's public living room — interim-directed, examined, and open six days a week.
