Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a library card?
Getting a card is quick and easy! Simply bring a valid photo ID and proof of address to the library. Our staff will set you up in just a few minutes so you can start borrowing materials, using online resources, and enjoying library services right away.
What are the library’s hours and holiday closures?
Our hours vary by day and season. You can always find the most up-to-date schedule on our website. If we’re ever closed for a holiday, special event, or weather, we’ll post announcements on our Facebook Page.
How long can I check out materials for?
Most books and audiobooks are checked out for three weeks, while DVDs, kits, and high-demand items have shorter loan periods. Due dates are listed on your checkout receipt and in your online account. Many items renew automatically as long as no one else is waiting.
How do I renew or reserve items?
You can renew or place holds anytime through your online account. Just log in with your library card number to manage your checkouts, join waitlists, and get notified when items are ready for pickup. Staff are always happy to help in person or by phone.
Does the library offer digital books and streaming?
Yes! Your library card gives you free access to a wide range of eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, movies, and more. Visit our Borrow page to explore the different apps and platforms, get setup help, and start enjoying content from any device.
What programs and events does the library offer?
We host events for all ages—storytimes, author talks, tech help, book clubs, workshops, and community gatherings. Our Events Calendar is updated regularly so you can discover what’s happening next and easily register for upcoming programs.
