Welcome to the Adult’s Department – the place for everyone!

What We Offer
Books, Media, and More
Our staff works hard to curate displays filled with relevant titles in mixed formats for all people to enjoy. Throughout the year, the displays change to match current events, heritage months, or fun library trends like books with orange covers. We also have a Reads We Love display that is a collection of our staff favorites. You can find audiobooks, manga, cook books, historical texts, and so much more. There is truly something for everyone.
To get started, browse our catalog or learn more about our digital collection.
Computers, Wi-Fi, and Printing
Our computers station is a popular area in the Library situated right next to the Help Desk. If you need assistance, our staff is available and happy to help. We also have self-service scanners and printers. The Library also has free Wi-Fi that you can conveniently connect to while inside, or outside in the parking lot.
