We have a brand new website!

 

Homepage 

 

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!

 

 

 

Find out what's new with New Book Alerts
  

New Book Alerts 

 

This new service on our website allows you to browse all the new books, music, and movies at the library. It looks a lot like Barnes & Noble or Netflix's browsing feature. Read reviews or place a hold on the items you want to check out.

 

You can also sign up to receive a weekly e-mail with a list of all our latest additions.
