Because of a decision by the IRS to reduce the number of forms distributed to public libraries, we will have a limited selection of tax forms available at tax time. We can provide the basic group of Federal 1040 forms, but no Federal schedules. Even though we do not have many forms on hand, we can help you find a form to print from the IRS or State of Ohio website. However, library staff cannot help you determine the form you need. Any form that you print from the Internet will be charged at $.05 for a single-sided form; $.10 for a double-sided form.
Hi! My name is Sonya Huser and I'm excited to be joining the team at the Archbold Community Library as the new director! Despite the fact that my last name is pronounced "Hoosier," I am thrilled to move to Ohio to begin the next chapter in my career. I earned my Master of Library Science seven years ago from IU and for most of my professional career, I was a school librarian for the Muncie Community Schools in Muncie, IN. From the school library, I moved on to become a Youth Services Specialist for the Muncie Public Library.
