Roanoke City, Roanoke County, and Salem. Request items from any of these libraries, and our couriers will deliver them to your preferred library location for pickup.

How long can I keep my items?

How do I renew items?
Items renew automatically, no action needed! Each item checked out on your card will be renewed automatically two days before it's due, if there are no other holds and the items still have unused renewals. Items may be renewed up to 2 times if no one is waiting for them.
VOX Books are printed books for children that provide audio narration using an audio reader attached to the book. The VOX Reader transformed an ordinary print book into an all-in-one read-along. There are no screens, CDs, or need for an internet connection. Children simply push a button to listen and read-along.
Children can listen to the story 100+ times on a single battery charge. There is a headphone jack for solo listening and an audio prompt when it’s time to turn a page.
VOX Books helps children improve reading comprehension and reading accuracy while learning a new language.
Languages include:
Roanoke County
Spanish, Spanish-English bilingual, and Chinese-English bilingual
Botetourt County
Spanish, Spanish-English bilingual

We participate in a nationwide cooperative network that allows us to supplement our collection by borrowing items from or loaning them to other libraries. We charge a $3 fee per item to offset part of the shipping charges. To find any titles you might be seeking, check WorldCat.Org.
