Connect to an Exciting World

There’s no place like the library to create your own experience of learning, excitement, and entertainment. We are Your Connection Point! At our library, you can borrow books, audiobooks, CDs, Blu-rays, video games, and explore our "fun stuff" collection. You can access computers, high-speed Wi-Fi, and creative technologies such as 3D printers. Study, collaborate, or host meetings in our dedicated spaces, and get personalized assistance from our support team for tech help or research needs. Join vibrant book clubs, attend engaging story times, or discover hidden gems at the Back Corner Bookshop. Whether you're planting seeds of knowledge with our gardening resources or taking home board games for family night, our campus offers endless opportunities to learn, connect, and explore.

Library Cards

A library card is your key to the library’s collections and digital services. With it, you can borrow books, DVDs, and audiobooks; access online databases; and use digital platforms like Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy.

To apply, simply visit the library with a valid photo ID and proof of address. Cards are free for county residents, and replacement or temporary cards can be issued as needed. Parents or guardians may register children ages three and older for their own cards.
