Notary public services available now at library

Voter registrations. Passport applications. Now add notary public to the types of services Rolling Hills Library offers to the public besides helping people find something to read or watch. 

Several staff members at the Belt and Savannah branches have completed training to be notary publics and can witness and authenticate the signing of certain types of documents, administer oaths and take some affidavits. They also will can notarize mail-in ballots for the November elections. 

The notaries are available during library hours on a walk-in basis. No appointments are needed, so it’s best to call ahead to see if a notary is available before coming to the library. No fees will be charged for notary service. 

“Our mission is to serve the residents of Andrew and Buchanan counties, and we believe notary public services is something we can easily offer,” said library Director Michelle Mears. “A lot of people think of banks first when they need a notary. But with bank lobbies being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, people may be having trouble finding a notary. We can help them now.”
