COLLECTIONS

From board books for the small, exploring hands of an infant first experiencing books to large print books for older residents with failing eyesight, our collection reflects the diverse needs and interests of our community. Our collection includes books, DVDs, and a reference collection. Through participation in the statewide interlibrary loan program, we provided greater access to materials by connecting patrons with materials not available in our our collection.

With a carefully curated collection, we encourage reading by children and adults and engage them in learning. ​
