I'm from out of town, can I use your library?
Yes, we are happy to help all individuals and everyone is welcome to use our resources within the library. We issue library cards to any individual with a local contact. We issue online access cards to anyone interested.
Because of the internet and eBooks, are books and libraries going extinct?
Not at all. There will always be people who prefer print over eBook and it is difficult to imagine a future where printed books are completely gone. That said the role of the library in the community is changing and therein lies its key to survival. Libraries are not just a place to store and find information anymore. We are a place where people come to enjoy themselves and meet other people. We are educators, and we hope to grow a more literate community. We are a place where individuals come to do business and where the local culture may express itself. We provide access to technology and pride ourselves on our ability to provide free internet connectivity. Most of all libraries are a place where people come to enrich their minds and lives. So long as there are individuals looking to better themselves, the library will be there to help them do so.
