Tell City, Cannelton, Troy library branches, programs and Indiana shared card rules

The Perry County Public Library system lists the Tell City branch at 2328 Tell Street, Tell City, IN 47586 with phone 812-547-2661 and weekly hours Monday–Wednesday 9:00 AM–6:00 PM, Thursday–Friday 9:00 AM–5:30 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM–1:00 PM and Sunday closed on the library website and Evergreen Indiana listing. The Cannelton branch is at 210 South 8th Street, Cannelton, IN 47520 with phone 812-547-6028 and weekday hours Monday–Friday 10:00 AM–5:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday closed according to the Perry County Public Library site.

The system’s Bookmobile is listed under the Tell City address, 2328 Tell Street, with contact 812-547-2661 and a “View Bookmobile Schedule” link on the Perry County Public Library site, but the supplied excerpts did not include the Bookmobile route, stops, or a Troy schedule; call Tell City at 812-547-2661 to request the current Bookmobile timetable and to confirm any stops in Troy. For immediate needs use the Tell City number to confirm branch transfers, programs, or holiday closures because the local site is the primary source of hours and contacts.

On shared borrowing and registration the library’s circulation policy contains several binding rules. “An Evergreen Indiana library card is required in order to check out materials at an Evergreen Indiana Library,” the policy states, and it adds that “A digital replica of the library card is also an appropriate form of identification for a patron to check out materials.” Applicants must present required Proper Identification in person at the issuing Evergreen library, and the policy notes that “Property owners who do not reside in Indiana will be required to show proof of real property ownership, such as a tax bill or deed.” The policy also warns that “Signing and/or taking receipt of an Evergreen Indiana library card denotes acceptance of responsibility for all fines and fees and for payment for lost or damaged materials,” and patrons are advised to contact their library to report lost or stolen cards.

If you need a library card or help from staff, library managers retain some leeway: the circulation text says that “Library directors and managers have discretionary ability in special cases.” The policy refers to a “Loss of Privileges” section for limitations but that section was not included in the excerpts supplied here; for exact fines, thresholds, and the accepted list of Proper Identification documents call 812-547-2661 or 812-547-6028 and ask the branch staff to confirm current requirements.

Directory materials show internal identifiers that may help cross-reference catalogs. An Evergreen directory excerpt lists Perry County Main Library entries such as TCPCPLT 70621 for the Tell City main entry and CNLPLC 70622 for the Cannelton branch, and the Bookmobile appears as TCPCPLB 70621 in that listing. Exercise caution with one directory snapshot: an Ebatesville directory page dated “Last Updated: 4/20/2016” swaps branch phone numbers, listing Tell City as 812.547.6028 and Cannelton as 812.547.2661; the Perry County Public Library website and Evergreen Indiana listing both show Tell City as 812-547-2661 and Cannelton as 812-547-6028, so prioritize the library website and the Evergreen statewide listing when contacting branches.

Missing from the supplied excerpts are current program schedules, the Bookmobile’s detailed stops including any Troy visits, holiday hours text, and the full “Proper Identification” and “Loss of Privileges” sections. To confirm programs, meeting-room availability, holiday closures, and Bookmobile routes call Tell City at 812-547-2661 or Cannelton at 812-547-6028 and request the latest schedule and a press contact for detailed program listings.
