At the Library
Your library card unlocks more than shelves. It gives you access to things you might want to try but maybe not buy. And sometimes what you need isn't a book, it's a laminator, an electric balloon pump, and a yard game. Need a fun night in? Borrow a board game. Want to stream without cable? Grab a Roku. Need internet on the go? Check out a hotspot. We've got you covered.
Need a legal form for your small business? Starting to write a will? Need a lease form? We offer a hub of resources, backed by librarians ready to help you find exactly what you need. With Gale LegalForms, you can access thousands of official, attorney-sourced forms covering business, personal, real estate, and federal matters, tailored to your state. It’s a great start on paperwork, although for anything serious, we'd recommend a licensed attorney.
That's why we provide you access to FactCheck.org, a nonpartisan, nonprofit resource that monitors the accuracy of what U.S. political players say in ads, debates, speeches, and interviews, cutting through deception and confusion for voters. A project of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, it blends top journalism and scholarship. Explore it free with your library card!
Test your knowledge, support the Library, and have fun at the Friends of Washington-Centerville Public Library Trivia Nights, every second Thursday at Heavier Than Air Brewing Co.
