In-person library use
As COVID case numbers in our community fluctuate, we’ll adjust in-person services accordingly to serve community needs and ensure the health and safety of our patrons and staff. Check here to see what in-person and online services the Library is currently offering.
Curbside pickup
We are offering curbside pickup library patrons. Visit our Curbside Pickup page for more information about how curbside pickup works, how to request items, how to send something to the library printer, and how to request a bundle of “curbside surprise” books or movies.
