Please do consider your library a one-stop shop for all manner of free services and programs. If you'd like us to add a service or program, please let us know. In the meantime, come see us for resume assistance, interlibrary loans, and of course a superb, up-to-date collection of books, magazines, music, movies and television shows.

Also, please take advantage of our newly organized quiet space, and a more accessible genealogy collection; both are right by the reference librarian. The reference librarian is also a great source for book recommendations, research ideas, INSPIRE instruction, microfilm sources, directions, and collaboration on all manner of treasure hunts.

For more free services, please click on the links to the left, or just stop in and see us. You're always welcome!

You can find recommendations by searching by author, title, theme, genre, and time period. Through NoveList's Appeal Mixer, users can find books with certain blends of storylines, tones, writing styles, and characters. NoveList also provides book group discussion guides, genre outlines, and award lists. And with NoveList K-8 Plus, children's books are placed front and center with all of the same great features!

NoveList is available at the library and also everywhere you go just by entering your library card number.
