We have a brand new website!
We just released our updated, redesigned website this week and we can't wait for you to try it out. Here are just some of the new features:
It's interactive.
It's easy to use.
- We put all the most commonly searched for information up front and center on the home page.
- If you can't find what you're looking for, try the Site Search or the Site Map.
It shows you what's new.
- The New Book Alerts feature allows you to browse new books, movies, and music at the library.
It's translatable.
- The Google Translate feature at the top of each page will translate the website into many different languages.
It gives you access to premium online resources - for free!
