The library is an extensive area | The library is an extensive area that hasn't been showcased completely. In some episodes, there is a bike rack on the right side of the building. Right inside the front door is the check out desk where [[Ms. Paige Turner]] works. In the front, far left, part of the building is where [[D.W.]] and her friends watch to [[Mr. Ratburn]]'s puppet plays. Farther in to the building directly across from the puppet play area is a group of couches and some computers where Arthur and his friends hang out. In the middle of the structure are tables to read at and stairs up to the second and third floor landings, which are built around the middle area. | ||

In "[[Sue Ellen & the Last Page]]", the Elwood City city council was ready to cut funding to the library, due to fewer patrons checking out books.
