Library Services
We offer a wide variety of library services available to the communities we serve. These services include borrowing physical books and other materials, accessing online resources such as digital books and articles, using computers and other technology, attending educational and cultural events, and receiving research assistance from librarians. We also offer services such as study rooms, printing and copying, and access to specialized collections or equipment. We have adapted so that some of our services are now available online, allowing patrons to access resources and assistance remotely.
Digital Resources
We provide a variety of digital resources that patrons can access remotely with their library card. These resources include e-books, audiobooks, and other digital media that can be downloaded to a device for offline use. We also offer access to online databases of articles, journals, and other research materials, as well as digital collections of historical documents, photographs, and other primary sources. We have online language learning resources, and offer digital versions of popular magazines and newspapers. Our patrons can also access online tutoring and other educational resources through our website.
