Books

Browse and borrow from our extensive collection of fiction, nonfiction, and biographies books, including for children, young adults, parents, large print readers, and more.

​Our books are in prose, verse, graphic novel, and mixed media forms.

Audiobooks

The Library has a growing collection of audiobooks on Playaways, which are compact listening devices with 1 book each.

Patrons are responsible for all borrowed components–the case, the device, the accompanying lanyard, and earbuds.

DVDs

​Find popular and niche titles for kids, young adults, and adults, covering both fiction ​and nonfiction subjects.

Periodicals

The Library subscribes to magazines, which are available to borrow for 1 week check-out periods, and local newspapers, which are available to read in the Library. We also have copies of Seven Days available to take home.

Games

Bored? Check out the Library’s board and card games!

Our games check out for 1 week, and need to be returned in-person as they won’t fit in the drop box. Please make sure all pieces are present before returning.

Puzzles

The Library has a small collection of donated puzzles for patrons to borrow (no need to check out at the Circulation Desk).
