Friends of the Library Book Sale
The Friends of the Library Book Sale is an ongoing sale located at the North entrance of the library. Stop by during the library's regular hours to browse the selection of gently used books and other media.
Look out for sales! Throughout the year there will be bag sales, 2-for-1 sales, and other great discounts. Ask at the circulation desk if you're not sure which sale might be in effect.

One-on-one help in a variety of subjects can be arranged through the library. Whether it's for school, work, or for yourself, the library can help find a tutor to suit your needs.
The library needs volunteer tutors to keep this program going. For more information or if you think you have what it takes to be a tutor, contact the library or read more here.
Computers & Printing
Ten one-hour sit down computers and two 15-minute stand-up computers are available for adult patrons. No library card is required, and sign up is at the reference desk.
Some computers offer CAC/Smart Card readers, and all computers have internet access and printing capabilities unless otherwise specified.
Printing is ten cents ($0.10) per page. Patrons are responsible for every page that prints, so it is highly recommended to ask a member of the reference staff for help when printing.
Wireless internet is also available for public use. The wireless password of the day is displayed in the library. Wirless printing is not available.
For kids' and teens' computers, please visit the Young Peoples Department (select "Kids" or "Teens" at the top menu).
