The Library has so much more than books for you to borrow!  We have magazines and newspapers, audiobooks, DVDs, music CDs, museum passes, computer software and games, online databases, downloadable books and music, Internet computers, Wi-Fi access, and more. We have special collections just for Children and Teens. And in all of our spaces you’ll find friendly staff to help you!

If you’ve never been in before, find out how to get a library card. We invite you to come tour our historic building and familiarize yourself with our collections, services, and programs.

If you haven’t been in for a while, we welcome you back; there’s always a lot going on and many new items in our various collections. Check out our event calendar or browse our reading recommendations. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just ask. There’s always a knowledgeable staff member close at hand.
