WPPL no longer has free COVID-19 test kits after distributing our final shipment of kits. The Ohio Department of Health has discontinued the program which, since early 2022, provided free COVID-19 test kits to public libraries.

Universal changing table

A universal changing table—accommodating adults and youths up to 1,000 pounds—is now available for use in the Family Restroom located in the Youth Services department. The changing table makes it easier for caregivers to aid individuals with disabilities.

Laminating

Try our Pouch Laminator for business cards, bookmarks, signs, flyers and more! Visit the Circulation desk to have your item laminated.

Pouch size Cost
2 X 3 ½ inches (business card) $0.25
8 ½ X 11 inches (letter size) $0.50
11 X 17 inches (ledger size) $1.00

Heat sensitive items—such as concert and movie tickets printed with thermal paper—are not suitable for lamination. Because laminating is permanent, collectible or valuable items are not recommended for lamination. Also, most official documents—such as Social Security cards—should not be laminated.

Test Proctoring

Exam iconThe Westlake Porter Public Library offers test proctoring free of charge during the hours the library is open. Computers are available for online-based tests and individual study rooms are available for paper tests.

Contact Adult Services with your name, contact information, and desired testing date and time. Scheduling is based upon staff availability. Please allow enough time for correspondence with your institution to receive testing materials and instructions.
