HOW TO GET A LIBRARY CARD:

In order to receive a library card, you will need to bring in a photo ID and a separate proof of address (I.E. piece of mail, car registration, insurance card, etc.). You will then fill out an application card and we will make the card for you. Children are able to get a card when they turn five with a parent signature.

Movies check out for five days.  All other material are checked out on a two week basis.  We are a fine free library with no late fees.

Computer support is available at the front desk.
