Going Mobile?

Before you head out on vacation, make sure you download the library's app! You can see what books you have checked out and renew them, download ebooks and audiobooks, see what events are around the corner and use the BookLook feature to easily check if we have that interesting book that you stumbled upon at the beach house in stock. The library app is free and available for both iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) and Android devices.

Summer Reading is Coming to an End!

There are only a couple of weeks remaining in our adult summer reading program so be sure to get your books recorded by Saturday, August 3rd so you can pick up a great final prize! And even though you've reached your goal you should keep recording book titles since every book that you read until the end will get you entries into our weekly drawings as well as double movie coupons. The kids' summer reading program also ends soon, with a pizza party on August 3rd at noon that you won't want to miss!
