Explore Knowledge, Discover Fun

Reaching Out to the Community
Over 17,000 citizens visit the Library each week, but did you know the Library can also come to you? Services like homebound book delivery, mini-library branches in assisted living facilities and at Hithergreen Center, and book discussion groups off site make the Library accessible to those who can’t get here.
Need a Speaker?
Looking for a speaker for your next civic or community group meeting? Look no further! The Library offers professional and knowledgeable speakers on a variety of subjects including new books, travel, culture, history, technology and more. Presentations can be tailored to fit your group’s interests and time constraints and there is no fee for this service.
