HISTORY

The Patrick Henry Public Libraries were formed when the Patrick Henry School
District was created in November of 1964.  Deshler Edwin Wood Memorial Library,
Hamler Branch Library, and Malinta Branch Library are public libraries that also
serve as school libraries for grades K-8.  Deshler Library is connected to the
elementary school by a breezeway.  Hamler Library is located on the first floor
of the Reddin House.  Malinta Library is located on the second floor of the
elementary school.  The school has an elevator for those unable to use the
stairs.

 * DESHLER EDWIN WOOD MEMORIAL LIBRARY
   
   The Deshler Library was started through the initiative of the Deshler Chamber
   of Commerce in March 1924.  It was located in the basement of the Deshler
   School. In 1961 Mr. Richard Jones, then Superintendent of the Deshler School,
   and the library board, saw the need for new library facilities.  Through
   their efforts, and in cooperation with the board of education, the Edwin Wood
   legacy, and savings of the library board through levies, a new building was
   erected. The new building was dedicated in May 1962.
   
   Deshler Library went to an automation system in August of 2003. We now
   electronically check out books. Our card catalog is now on-line along with 69
   other libraries in  the SEO system. Patrons with library cards may now
   borrow  books, videos, CD’s, DVD’s, books on tape, magazine, and eBooks from
   the other libraries in the SEO system.

 * HAMLER BRANCH LIBRARY
   
   The Hamler Library was started with the help of the Wide-A-Wake Club, in
   1941. The library was located in their club room. The library was moved to
   the Hamler School in  July 1943.  In June of 2005 the Hamler Branch Library
   moved to its present location at 230 Randolph Street after the Hamler Middle
   School was moved to its new location at the Patrick Henry High School campus.

 * MALINTA BRANCH LIBRARY
   
   Malinta Branch Library has been in existence since the formation of Patrick
   Henry School District.  Actual work on the library began October 27, 1969.
   January 5, 1970 the Malinta Library opened officially for use by the public
   and school.  The local library staff had donated over 150 dollars for
   equipment and supplies. At opening the library contained 5,000 books.
   
   The Malinta Branch Library, being located on the second floor of the Malinta
   School Building has always been affected by the school’s operating schedule. 
   When the school closed its doors permanently in June 2016 to relocate to the
   High School campus of the Patrick Henry Schools, the library lost its home. 
   Efforts to relocate the library in Malinta were unsuccessful.  The Malinta
   Branch Library ceased operating as of June 1, 2016.

INTERNET POLICY

The Patrick Henry School District Public Library endeavors to meet the
information, education and recreation needs of the diverse population of adults
and children in the school district and the adjacent area. Access to the
internet and Ohio Public Information Network (OPLIN) resources is on a method of
meeting these needs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISCLAIMER

Most of the information available through OPLIN and the internet is not
generated by the PHSDPL or OPLIN.

The internet offers nearly unlimited global access to information and opinions
from diverse points of view.  However, not all information available through
OPLIN and the internet is endorsed or warranted by the PHSDPL or OPLIN to be
accurate, authoritative, factual or complete.  The user assumes all risks for
its use.  Neither can the library guarantee the reliability of the computer. The
internet links thousands of computers around the world, with no single
organization or agency having responsibility for its content. Thus, it is likely
that some of the information available will be found to be controversial,
offensive or unsuitable for a minor. Parents must instruct their minor children
as to what uses are permissible.

The user agrees to indemnify and hold the PHSDPL and OPLIN harmless from any and
all claims, losses, damages or liability arising directly or indirectly from the
use of OPLIN and the internet. Software designed to filter sexually explicit
material and other content harmful to minors have been installed on all public
computers.  Adults may request to have the filter removed.

Parents who wish their children to use the computer without filters after
school, evenings and Saturdays are asked to come into the library and sign a
release form.  The filters are not perfect, the library can not guarantee all
inappropriate sites will be blocked.  All patrons under 18 years of age must
have a permission slip signed by their parent or guardian to use the computers.
