Marathon Public Library is the heart of the community where all come to learn, connect, and create. At the heart of this mission is our commitment to engage our residents and visitors to the Big Bend region with access to information and programs which provide greater insight into ourselves and to the world around us. The outcome is a citizenry with critical thinking, writing, communications, and problem-solving skills; creativity and empathy; and a greater understanding of and appreciation for the past and the present in order to better embrace the future.
Marathon Public Library offers a variety of educational programs for children and adults; serves as the only digital access point in our community; and promotes literacy and learning through our diverse collection of books.
Marathon Public Library hosts programs that offer innovative pathways into critical thinking, discovery, and knowledge that inspire learning in children and teens.

From board books for the small, exploring hands of an infant first experiencing books to large print books for older residents with failing eyesight, our collection reflects the diverse needs and interests of our community. Our collection includes books, DVDs, and a reference collection. Through participation in the statewide interlibrary loan program, we provided greater access to materials by connecting patrons with materials not available in our our collection.
With a carefully curated collection, we encourage reading by children and adults and engage them in learning. ?
