Please have your library card ready at the circulation desk. Patrons are responsible for the replacement of lost or damaged items.

*After obtaining a library card, new patrons may check out up to five (5) total items, only one (1) of which may be a DVD or Video Game.

May I donate books or other items to the library?

The library has limited storage space and therefore limits its donation intake to two small bags or boxes per person at a time. We typically accept fiction, children's books, cooking and craft books, audiobooks, puzzles, and DVDs. The library never accepts textbooks. We only accept donations during our open business hours. Please do not put them in the book return or leave them outside.
