eBook Catalog gets a makeover

We've given the library's eBook Catalog a makeover! Discover how easy it is to browse ebooks and audiobooks, borrow them using your library card, and read or listen on your computer, tablet, or other device. You can even read ebooks right in your browser, and continue reading on another device!

Blind Date with a Book!

Stop by the library between Feb 1st and Feb 14th to participate in our “Blind Date with a Book” program! Its easy, fast and fun. Blind Date with a Book matches you with an unknown gift wrapped book which you choose to check out at the library knowing just the genre, without knowing the author, title, etc of the selection. Then you take your book on a blind date by choosing to meet with and read it and give it a chance to make an impression.

Best part.. you then get to let us know how your blind date went! Did you have a love connection? Did the date end early for whatever reason? Did something unexpected happen? We want to hear all about it! Click here to tell us about it on Facebook.  So stop by the library and meet your blind date.
