Get a Card

One of the best and easiest ways to support the library is to use it! By getting and using a library card, you help us determine the kinds of materials and services the community needs most.  Library cards are free, so apply today.

Donate

You can provide material support to the library by donating to our annual fund, donating gently-used books and media to our used book sales, or participating in our Title Adoption Program.  The Title Adoption Program allows you to fund the purchase of a book, CD, DVD or other item in honor or memory of a person or to commemorate a special occasion.
