Using the Library
Know what gives you so many sweet choices? A Library Card!
A Library Card gives you access to so much more than our incredible collection of books.
With your card you can borrow eBooks, eAudiobooks, movies, Chromebooks, hotspots—even snowshoes! You can sign up for programs and use services including printing, the Makerspace, the Recording Studio, or a meeting room or study space.
Best of all, getting a Library Card is absolutely free!
A Lendery is a collection of items you can borrow for your home, projects, and adventures. A Lendery, also known as a "Library of Things," provides free access to equipment, technologies, and experiences that foster learning within our community.
