Is there an ImagineIF Library in Marion?

The Marion School offers ImagineIF holds pick up through a partnership between the school and ImagineIF Libraries. It’s not a full-service library branch, but it can make picking up holds more convenient for folks over in the west side of the county.

ImagineIF has a self-checkout machine in the breezeway by the main office at the school. So basically anytime the school is open, you can pick up any holds you’ve had sent there. The official hours in Marion are Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm. However if the school is closed for a holiday, holds pick up and book return will not be accessible.
