Anyone may visit the library at any time, no matter whether you have a library card or not.  Our WiFi is available without a password, and we can give you a pass to use our public computer workstations.  We offer Keurig coffee for $1.00 a cup, and can send faxes for you or make copies or prints for a fee.

You will need a library card to check items out of the library.  With our collection of 22,000 books and 12,000 DVDs, we’re sure you will want to check something out to enjoy at home.  Here is how to do this.

FAQ – I had a card before but I lost it.  I may have had fines.  Can I get a new card?

Ask a Library Staff member for help.  We can tell you whether we still have your name in our database, and whether there are any outstanding fines on your account.  We are usually required to collect money for lost or damaged items, but we will work with you to reduce fines and fees so that you may check materials out again.

FAQ – Someone else used my card to check out a lot of things, and then lost them.  Why am I responsible for those fines? 

When you signed the application for the card, you agreed to be responsible for anything checked out on the card.  It is always best not to let your card be used for another person’s items.  If your card was stolen, you need to let the Library know so that we can cancel the card and issue you a new one.
